Providing that microschool tuition and fees are qualifying expenses for Hope Scholarship accounts

HB 2142 amends West Virginia's Hope Scholarship Program to explicitly include microschool tuition and fees as qualifying expenses for scholarship accounts. This change directly affects parents using Hope Scholarships who enroll children in microschools - small, privately operated educational settings defined under state law. The bill adds "Tuition and fees at a microschool" as a new line item (Section 18-31-7(13)) to the list of approved expenses, which already covers public school services, tutoring, online programs, and other educational costs. The policy change does not alter eligibility for the scholarship but expands how funds may be used for education outside traditional public or private schools.
