SB 667 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Providing for display of Ten Commandments in each classroom

SB 667 requires all public elementary and secondary schools in West Virginia to display a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments in every classroom starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The bill mandates that the display must meet specific size requirements (at least 16x20 inches), include the exact text listed in the bill, and be legible from any point in the classroom. Schools may accept private donations of compliant displays or replace non-compliant ones using public funds or donations. This policy directly affects all public K-12 schools in the state, with no exemptions specified for classroom content.
