CHARLESTON – After three days of debate and amendments, the West Virginia state Senate’s second attempt at sweeping education reform passed today.
Senate Bill 1039, the Student Success Act, passed 18-15. It now goes to the House of Delegates, which will reconvene Monday, June 17, to consider SB 1039 and other education reform bills
The 144-page bill includes 29 proposals that Senate Republicans believe will ultimately help raise student academic achievement, while also providing greater funding, flexibility, and local control to county school systems.
