WV SCR23

Directs the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission's mission, effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and accountability

The Commission operates on approximately $2.5 million annually from ticket revenue and corporate sponsors, with no tax dollar funding and no county board dues paid for decades

County boards of education are legally required to control interscholastic athletics and extracurricular activities but can delegate this authority to the Commission under WV Code §18-2-25

Study must include input from coaches, parents, and athletes, with findings and legislative recommendations due by the 2026 regular legislative session

Resolution cites Senate Bill 804, introduced in 2025 with over 20 sponsors to reform the Commission, as evidence of legislative concerns requiring review
