SB53

West Virginia SB53 requires county boards to publish annual lists of unused buildings for charter schools and prohibits selling or making these.

West Virginia SB53 aims to improve access to unused buildings for public charter schools by mandating county boards to publish an annual list of closed, unused, or unoccupied buildings. Once a charter school requests to use a public facility, the county board or public entity cannot sell or make the facility unavailable to prevent charter school use. The bill also stipulates that if a charter school's application is denied, the county board or public entity is not required to hold the building for future applications.
