HB 2504 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to teacher fundraising

HB 2504 prevents West Virginia counties or school officials from blocking teachers from using modern fundraising methods like online crowd-sourcing. The bill amends existing law to explicitly state that no county board member, officer, or administrator may stop teachers from raising funds through these current methods. Schools must publicly announce such fundraising efforts and designate the generated funds before starting, treating them as school system "quasipublic funds." This directly affects teachers seeking to fund classroom materials or activities through non-traditional channels, without requiring county approval for their chosen methods.
