West Virginias House Bill 5453 proposes a new funding formula for schools, shifting from a system based on assumed student numbers to one based purely on enrollment counts. Each student would bring in $6,500, with counties under 1,200 kids receiving a fixed minimum. While education advocates see this as a step forward, they emphasize the need for comprehensive reforms. Senators, however, are concerned about the delayed full changes and the urgent special education costs. The bill has been amended to address these concerns and is now moving to the Senate Finance Committee for further debate.
