AI Summary
This bill mandates that starting July 1, 2027, the salaries of all county superintendents of schools in West Virginia will be determined by the number of students in their respective counties. The Department of Education will create a formula and a schedule to establish the highest possible salary for each of the 55 county superintendents, ensuring that these maximum salaries are equitable and increase proportionally with student population, meaning the salary per student will be the same across all counties. This schedule will be reviewed and updated at least every five years.
