Each private, parochial or church school or school of a religious order shall observe a minimum instructional term of one hundred eighty days with an average of five hours of instruction per day, and shall make and maintain annual attendance and disease immunization records for each pupil enrolled and regularly attending classes. Such attendance records shall be made available to the parents or legal guardians. Upon the request of the county superintendent of schools, any school to which this applies (or a parents organization composed of the parents or guardians of children enrolled in said school) shall furnish to the county board of education a list of the names and addresses of all children enrolled in such school between the ages of seven and sixteen years. Attendance by a child at any school to which this article relates and which complies with this article shall satisfy the requirements of compulsory school attendance. Each such school shall be subject to reasonable fire, health and safety inspections by state, county and municipal authorities as required by law, and shall further be required to comply with the West Virginia school bus safety regulations.
