This bill amends West Virginia Code §18-5-13 to explicitly prohibit county boards, their members, officers, or school administrators from preventing teachers from utilizing crowd-sourcing or other modern fundraising methods. The new legal language inserted into the existing law emphasizes that teachers should have access to a variety of fundraising options without interference from county officials. This change aims to enhance the financial resources available to educators and support school activities.

In addition to the new provisions, the bill maintains existing regulations regarding the management of school funds, including requirements for record-keeping and auditing. The overall intent of the legislation is to empower teachers by ensuring they can leverage contemporary fundraising techniques, thereby fostering a more supportive environment for educational initiatives and community engagement.
