This bill proposes to amend the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 18-2-46, which prohibits the use of electronic calculators by public school students in grades pre-kindergarten through six. The intent of the legislation is to ensure that young students develop foundational skills in math and arithmetic without reliance on electronic aids.

Under this new provision, public schools in West Virginia will not allow students in the specified grades to use any form of electronic calculators. The bill emphasizes the importance of mastering basic mathematical concepts before introducing technological tools that could potentially hinder the learning process.
