§18-9C-1. Purposes and construction of article.
The ratification of the "better school buildings amendment" has provided the potential source of funds for county boards of education to use for the construction, renovation, remodeling and equipping of elementary or secondary public school buildings or facilities and for the acquisition and preparation of sites for elementary or secondary public school buildings or facilities. Because of the importance of these activities to the whole state of West Virginia, it is necessary that the various county boards of education receive guidance from a state board with regard to overall planning responsibilities. With this in mind, this article is enacted to provide the framework whereby the management and administration of funds can be effectively coordinated so that said funds derived from the sale of bonds pursuant to the "better school buildings amendment" can be used to the best advantage of all our school children wherever they might live in the state.
