This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require that students in the 11th or 12th grade who are scheduled for a "free" or "teacher-assistant" period be informed about available online college course opportunities. The new provision mandates that students receive this information either through a verbal or written notice from their teacher or via a school or county-wide announcement. This initiative aims to enhance educational opportunities for high school students by ensuring they are aware of options to further their education while still in high school.

Additionally, the bill includes a change in the health education curriculum, replacing the "Department of Health and Human Resources" with the "Department of Health." This adjustment reflects a shift in the administrative oversight of health education materials and assessments. Overall, the bill seeks to improve student engagement in higher education and streamline health education governance within West Virginia schools.
