West Virginia Expands Youth Apprenticeships and Amends Charter School Regulations

New legislation in West Virginia, now in effect, enhances the "Youth Apprenticeship Program" by aligning child labor standards with federal guidelines and workforce development objectives. The act also revises public charter school law, introducing provisions for remote assessment proctoring and allowing charter school students to participate in extracurriculars at non-charter public schools if not offered at their own. These updates aim to improve educational opportunities and flexibility.
