Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to add to the teacher pay scale the increments of Bachelor's Plus 30 and Master's Plus 60.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia's teacher pay scale by adding two new increments for teachers who have earned additional college credits beyond their Bachelor's or Master's degrees: "Bachelor's Plus 30" (A.B. + 30) and "Master's Plus 60" (M.A. + 60). These new increments will be incorporated into the existing salary schedule, meaning teachers who meet these educational qualifications will receive a corresponding salary increase based on their years of experience. The bill also makes a technical correction by changing the effective date for additional experience credit for special education teachers from July 1, 2019, to July 1, 2026.
