Require county boards of education to train at least one professional staff member at each school in a grant writing procedures.
HB 4938 requires West Virginia county boards of education to train at least one professional staff member at each public school in grant writing procedures. This bill directly affects school districts and their staff members, mandating a specific training requirement for grant acquisition. The key provision specifies that each school must have one trained staff member by July 1, 2026, to improve the district's ability to secure external funding. The law aims to enhance schools' capacity to access additional resources through grant opportunities. This is a procedural requirement focused on staff development, not a change to funding levels or program content.
