AI Summary
This bill mandates that school districts in West Virginia must adhere to a minimum staffing ratio for cooks, requiring one cook for every 110 meals prepared and served, beginning with the 2027-2028 school year. Previously, these guidelines were optional, and school boards had discretion in scheduling cooks.
