Creating penalties for county and state boards of education for providing misinformation to parents, custodians, reviewers, or any other individual through any form of communication

HB 2819 imposes fines on West Virginia county and state school boards that provide false or misleading information to parents about homeschooling, public school access, or scholarship programs. Specifically, it requires boards to pay $500 per incident for incorrect guidance (e.g., on homeschool filing forms, diploma validity, or sports eligibility) and $5,000 for misinformation on official websites/social media, with daily penalties for ongoing errors. Fines are paid directly to affected parents or split between homeschool advocacy groups. The bill targets misinformation related to homeschool exemptions, HOPE Scholarship paperwork, and other educational rights as defined in existing law.
