HB 2087 opens up access to online curriculum, and allows the general public to inspect additional instructional material adopted by the county board, including books in the classroom. The bill expands access beyond parent/guardians, which is existing law. AFT-WV believes this is problematic as it creates additional administrative burdens on educators’ time and also opens the door to outside groups without children in the local schools to attack and disrupt school systems to advance a political agenda.
