Bill > HB2651

This bill modifies the employment status of certain administrative employees at local boards of education in West Virginia. Specifically, the bill changes the employment terms for general and special supervisors or directors of instruction, designating them as "will and pleasure" employees. This means these administrators can be hired or dismissed at the discretion of the county board of education, without the same job protections afforded to other educational employees. The bill amends an existing law that previously allowed for employment terms of one to four years for assistant superintendents and other educational administrators. The key change is in subsection (d), which explicitly states that general and special supervisors or directors of instruction shall be employed "at the will and pleasure of the county board," removing previous language about discretionary employment. This modification gives county boards more flexibility in hiring and terminating these administrative positions, potentially making these roles more politically responsive to local board leadership.
