This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 18-2-47, to the Code of West Virginia, which aims to eliminate standardized testing in both public and private schools. The State Board of Education will be required to cease the administration of all standardized tests, effectively removing this assessment method from the educational framework in the state.

The bill stipulates that the removal of standardized testing will take effect for the 2026-2027 school year and continue for all subsequent school years. The overarching goal of this legislation is to abolish the standardized testing requirements currently in place in West Virginia's educational institutions.
