AN ACT to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by
adding thereto a new section, designated §18-3-12, requiring

Commission on Education Accountability and state board.
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 §18-3-12, to read as
follows:
ARTICLE 3. STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
§18-3-12. Special community development school pilot program.
(a) The state superintendent shall establish a special
community development school pilot program to be implemented in one
public school for the duration of five years. The public school
designated by the state superintendent for the pilot shall have
significant enrollments of disadvantaged, minority and
underachieving students. The designated public school under the
direction of the county board and county superintendent shall work
in collaboration with higher education, community organizations and
the state board to develop and implement strategies that could be
replicated in other public schools with significant enrollments of
disadvantaged, minority and underachieving students to improve
academic achievement.
(b) Beginning in January, 2011, on or before the first day of
the regular session of the Legislature, and each year thereafter,
the state superintendent shall make a status report to the
Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability and to
the state board. The report may include any recommendations based
on the progress of the demonstration project that he or she
considers either necessary for improving the operations of the
demonstration project or prudent for improving student achievement
in other public schools through replication of successful
demonstration school programs.
