Bill > SB275

This bill proposes to modify an existing West Virginia law regarding employment requirements for school service personnel by removing the existing requirement that cooks and custodians must have a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) certificate to be employed by a county board of education. Currently, the law requires most new service personnel to have either a high school diploma or GED, or be enrolled in an approved adult education course to obtain a GED, with some exceptions. This bill specifically targets cooks and custodians, eliminating the educational prerequisite for these positions. By removing this requirement, the bill aims to potentially expand the pool of job candidates for these school service roles and reduce barriers to employment for individuals who may not have completed high school or obtained a GED. The change would apply to new hires and would give county school boards more flexibility in recruiting and hiring service personnel for cooking and custodial positions.
