Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to allow any teaching experience requirement imposed by code or state board rule to be met through teaching at a public school or any nonpublic school.
AI Summary
This bill modifies West Virginia law regarding teacher certification renewal and the attainment of permanent certification by allowing any teaching experience requirement, whether mandated by state code or rules from the state board of education, to be fulfilled by teaching in a public school, an accredited nonpublic school (meaning a private school accredited by an agency approved by the West Virginia Board of Education), or an unaccredited nonpublic school. This change aims to broaden the types of teaching experience that count towards a teacher's professional development and the eventual granting of a permanent teaching certificate, which is a higher level of certification.
