Bill Summary
A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by amending §18A-4-5a of the code, relating to allowing county boards to declassify career technical education instructors to provide additional compensation to those instructors if it determines that it has a critical need and shortage.
AI Summary
This bill allows county school boards in West Virginia to provide additional compensation to Career and Technical Education (CTE) instructors if the board determines there is a critical need and shortage of certified CTE instructors in a specific subject area. This is achieved by "declassifying" these positions, meaning they are no longer subject to certain standard salary classifications, enabling counties to offer higher pay to attract and retain qualified teachers in these vital fields.
