Establishes the West Virginia Freedom and Innovation Pilot Act of 2026 to allow counties to opt into a pilot program with funding and autonomy.

The West Virginia Freedom and Innovation Pilot Act of 2026 establishes a pilot program for counties to opt into, providing a block grant of $5,775 per enrolled student as of December 2025. Participating counties gain autonomy over salaries, benefits, class sizes, and calendars, with an annual cost limit of seven percent of the total budget for administrators' salaries. The pilot program exempts participating counties from certain staffing and salary provisions but requires adherence to the Success Act and federal implications.
