During this years WV Legislative session the WV FUE invites you to join us at the WV State Capitol to highlight the advantages and successes of all students from different educational background
Join us for WV FUE Day at the Capitol, an event designed for families across the state to interact with Representatives from both the House and Senate. This is a great opportunity for parents and students to learn more about the legislative process and to share their perspective on education.
Whether you are enrolled in a public, private, homeschool, charter school, microschool, or learning pod, we welcome you to attend.
Tours of the Capitol will be offered. If you're part of a school or homeschool group, we invite you to show off your school spirit with apparel and a display at your reserved table. Space is limited, so be sure to contact [email protected] to secure your spot.
This is a chance to showcase the diversity and strength of West Virginia families who trust parents to make the best decisions for their children's education.
