West Virginia Code §18-8-11 states that "school attendance, behavior, and satisfactory academic progress are conditions of licensing for the privilege of operation of a motor vehicle." Students who have excessive unexcused absences, excessive consecutive excused absences, excessive disciplinary issues, and/or unsatisfactory academic progressive will not be approved for proof of enrollments. Unsatisfactory academic progressive is defined as failing a class.
Students who have been denied a proof of enrollment will have the opportunity to rectify the situation by bringing medical excuses or parent notes for unexcused absences or by improving their academic performance so that they are passing all of their classes. At this point, the proof of enrollment may be requested again.
Per West Virginia Code §18-8-11 , if a student has accrued more than ten (10) consecutive or fifteen (15) total days unexcused absent during the school year, has excessive disciplinary issues, and/or is not making satisfactory academic performance, the school is required to send notification to the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (WVDMV). As a result, the WVDMV may revoke the student’s current license or deny their opportunity to obtain a driver’s license. If such action is taken, the Director of Attendance and the school administration and counselors will request a meeting with students and the family, and opportunity for the student to rectify the situation will be provided. Written notification will be mailed home. Additionally, Proof of Enrollment cannot be obtained until the matter is resolved.
