H. B. 2123

 

                        (By Delegates Rodighiero, Hicks, Perdue, Reynolds

                                    and Eldridge)


                        [Introduced January 20, 2015; referred to the

                        Committee on Education then the Judiciary.]

 

 

A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §18-8-1b, relating to requiring students to attend school until the age of eighteen.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

            That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §18-8-1b, to read as follows:

ARTICLE 8. COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

§18-8-1b. Compulsory attendance in school until eighteen years of age.

            Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, all students in this state who are attending a school must attend that school until the age of eighteen. However, this section does not apply to students who are exempt from school attendance for a reason other than age.

 

            NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to require students to attend school until the age of eighteen.

              This section is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
