This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 18A-3-13, to the Code of West Virginia, which mandates that county boards of education train at least one professional staff member in each school on grant writing procedures. The legislation emphasizes the importance of this training, stating that it would be beneficial for both the individual school and the county board of education as a whole.

The new section includes legislative findings that support the necessity of grant writing training and specifies that the requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance the capacity of schools to secure funding through grants, ultimately improving educational resources and opportunities for students.
