West Virginia Education Freedom and Parental Empowerment Act returns education funding to the state in block grants, creating education savings.

The West Virginia Education Freedom and Parental Empowerment Act returns federal education funding to the state as block grants. These funds are deposited into education savings accounts (ESAs) that follow each child, empowering parents with full school choice. The State Treasurer administers the ESA program, overseeing the distribution and tracking of funds. The State Board of Education loses all regulatory, policymaking, oversight, or operational powers relating to K-12 education, serving only as a pass-through for federal funds.
