Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill SB 267 establishes a requirement for the West Virginia State Board of Education to create a policy outlining the level of computer science instruction available to students at different educational stages. Additionally, it mandates the West Virginia Department of Education to provide professional development opportunities for educators in this field. These changes are significant because they aim to enhance computer science education, preparing students for a workforce increasingly reliant on technology and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills.
