Bill > HB4115

This bill modifies West Virginia law regarding the school year for teachers and students. Specifically, it reduces the minimum required number of instructional days for students from 180 days to 160 days, effectively giving teachers 20 days back from the previous requirement. The bill also clarifies that provisions allowing for the recovery of lost instructional time through alternative methods or equivalent instruction do not apply to days missed due to a work stoppage or strike by school employees, and that county school boards cannot receive waivers for failing to meet the minimum instructional day requirements if the shortfall is due to such a strike. Furthermore, the bill mandates that county school boards must provide built-in breaks for teachers and students at the end of each fall and spring semester, with consideration given to scheduling these breaks after standardized testing.
