This bill amends the West Virginia Code to increase funding for rural counties with students who have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). It sets a 3:1 ratio for the per child allotment in these counties. The state and county boards of education will assist in implementing this change. The bill defines "rural county" as one with a total enrollment of fewer than 2,200 students and students with IEPs. The adjustments aim to better support the educational needs of these students.
