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 notification can be provided through either a verbal or written notice from their teacher or through a school or county-wide announcement. This addition 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.
The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new language to emphasize the importance of informing students about online college courses. This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve educational resources and support for high school students, particularly those who may have unstructured periods in their daily schedules.
