Permitting county boards of education to send parents of students who are chronically disruptive the pro-rated amount of their education and to remove them from the school system for a year to continue their education
HB 2483 allows West Virginia county school boards to remove students deemed "chronically disruptive" from public schools for one year and provide their parents or guardians with a proportional share of the student's education funding. A student is defined as chronically disruptive if they commit physical abuse plus four or more verbal abuse incidents (as verified by educators), with different requirements for elementary vs. secondary grades. Parents must use the funds solely for the student's homeschooling or approved alternative education, and misuse incurs a 15% penalty. The student must be reevaluated after one year for potential return to public school, and the policy excludes foster care or state wards.
