West Virginia HB4670 creates a pilot program exempting certain counties from specific Education code provisions.

West Virginia HB4670 establishes the West Virginia Educational Freedom Pilot Act of 2026, allowing counties to opt out of certain Education code provisions. Participating counties gain autonomy over salaries, benefits, class sizes, and calendars. They can also establish their own graduation requirements and testing methods, including trade school admissions tests. Counties in the pilot program are exempt from certain staffing ratios and service personnel quotas, though federal law requirements still apply.
