Creating Community Schools Funding Formula Revision Act

This bill requires the West Virginia Department of Education to review school closures and consolidations considered over the current year and the previous four fiscal years. The department must propose funding formula changes within 180 days that would likely prevent the closure of at least 80% of schools, specifically those closures based on financial and operational reasons. The proposed changes would be submitted to the legislature for consideration, regardless of any decisions already made by school districts. This measure directly affects school districts, the state education department, and the legislative body by mandating a specific review process and funding adjustment proposal.
