This bill amends West Virginia Code 18-5-27 to enhance taxpayer access to educational materials by removing previous restrictions. It mandates that public schools post their adopted class curriculum online and allows any taxpayer, rather than just parents or guardians, to inspect additional instructional materials adopted by county boards of education, including classroom books. The bill also modifies the language regarding the filing of complaints, allowing any individual to file a complaint with the county superintendent if a classroom teacher fails to comply with the provisions of this section.

Key changes include the deletion of language that limited access to the online curriculum to only students, parents, or guardians, and the removal of restrictions on who can request to inspect instructional materials. Additionally, the bill clarifies that any individual can file a complaint regarding non-compliance, broadening the scope of accountability for educational institutions. Overall, the bill aims to promote transparency and accessibility in educational resources for all taxpayers.
