Providing for substantial deference to state school superintendent's interpretations of school laws

SB 203 requires county school boards, county superintendents, school employees, and the Public Employees' Grievance Board to follow the West Virginia State Superintendent's written interpretations of school laws and State Board of Education rules. The State Superintendent must provide these interpretations upon written request from citizens, teachers, or school officials. This requirement applies unless a state or federal court has already ruled on the same law or rule. The bill aims to create consistent application of school laws across West Virginia by prioritizing the Superintendent's official interpretations.
