Bill Summary
Board of Education; support services personnel; annual collection of certain staffing data required; report. Requires (i) each school board to, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, annually collect and submit to the Department of Education a report on data on the average salaries of support services personnel, as that term is defined in the bill, employed by the school board and (ii) the Department to, beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, annually compile such data, include it in the Annual School Report, and publicly post it on the Department's website. The bill requires each school board and the Department to disaggregate the data by career categories of support services personnel and specialized student support personnel as set forth in applicable law.

AI Summary
This bill requires Virginia school boards to collect and report annual salary data for support services personnel, which includes both specialized student support positions and other support services roles as defined in existing education law. Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, each school board must gather and submit to the Department of Education a report detailing the average salaries of these support services personnel, with the data disaggregated by specific career categories. The Department of Education will then be responsible for compiling this information, starting with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and including it in the Annual School Report. The department must also publicly post this data on its website in a clear and accessible format that allows for comparisons across different school divisions. The goal of this bill appears to be increasing transparency about compensation for support services staff in Virginia's public schools by creating a standardized, statewide mechanism for collecting and sharing salary information.
