Prohibiting schools from starting earlier than 7:45 am
SB 10 prohibits West Virginia public schools from starting the school day before 7:45 a.m. The bill directly affects all public schools in the state by establishing 7:45 a.m. as the mandatory earliest start time for instruction. It overrides any existing law allowing earlier start times through a new code section requiring this minimum. The policy change applies immediately to all public school districts without exception.
