The proposed bill seeks to amend the Code of West Virginia by introducing 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 this legislation is to ensure that young students develop foundational skills in math and arithmetic without reliance on electronic aids.

Under this bill, public schools in West Virginia would be mandated to not allow any form of electronic calculators for the specified grade levels. This measure aims to enhance students' understanding of basic mathematical concepts before they are introduced to technology that could potentially hinder their learning process.
