Relating to public charter school application for funding
This bill allows public charter schools in West Virginia to apply directly to the School Building Authority for funding to cover specific construction and improvement costs. Under the new provision, the authority would have the power to approve funding amounts it deems appropriate from its available state and federal funds. The change removes previous barriers that prevented charter schools from accessing these resources, enabling them to participate in the same facility improvement process as traditional school districts.
