WV HB3139

Establishes April 30 of the proposed school year as the application deadline for conversion public charter schools and program conversion public charter schools, rather than the standard August 31 deadline of the prior year

Conversion charter schools can begin operations in the same school year as their application, while standard charter schools must still wait until the following school year

Removes previous language requiring all public charter schools to wait until the school year following an August application before beginning operations

Applies specifically to schools converting from existing public schools to charter status, allowing for a faster transition timeline
