Relating to a public charter school’s application for funding

This bill amends the West Virginia Code to clarify how the School Building Authority distributes state and federal funds for school construction and major improvements. It establishes specific allocation rules, reserving up to 10 percent of available funds for statewide projects and up to 5 percent for multiuse vocational-technical education facilities. The legislation also requires that projects funded under these categories be submitted directly to the authority for evaluation and must align with approved comprehensive educational facility plans. Additionally, the bill sets aside a 2 percent emergency fund and ensures that the authority considers all other funding sources before approving new projects.
