SB925

Providing Future Farmers of America-sanctioned activities not count toward limit of excused absences

Chamber Passed·2/23/26

SB925 ensures Future Farmers of America-sanctioned activities do not count toward excused absence limits.

SB925 amends the Code of West Virginia to specify that participation in Future Farmers of America (FFA) sanctioned activities or programs does not count toward the 10-day limit for excused absences. The bill outlines various excused absence reasons, including medical appointments, personal illness, and FFA activities. It mandates that students must make up missed schoolwork due to sanctioned activities and that their grades should not suffer. The bill also details procedures for handling unexcused absences, including contacting parents and potential legal action for excessive absences.
