West Virginia HB5192 clarifies school funding calculations to use the highest of the last three-year running average or current enrollment.

West Virginia HB5192 amends the School Access Safety Act to clarify that school funding calculations should be based on the highest of the last three-year running average of enrollment or the current enrollment. This change aims to ensure more stable and predictable funding for schools. The bill also outlines procedures for the allocation and disbursement of funds, including a requirement for county boards to submit a safety plan and a one-year period to expend funds, with possible extensions.
