This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require the State Board of Education to develop and disseminate informational materials specifically about type 1 diabetes for the parents and guardians of students in public and public charter schools. The new provisions mandate that these materials be made accessible through the West Virginia Department of Education's website and that county boards of education and public charter schools provide this information to parents or guardians at the time of their child's enrollment in elementary school and annually thereafter.

The informational materials must include a description of type 1 diabetes, its risk factors and warning signs, and recommendations for parents or guardians to consult with healthcare providers if warning signs are observed. This initiative aims to enhance awareness and understanding of type 1 diabetes among families, ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary information to support their children's health and well-being in the school environment.
