Bill > HB5616

This bill modifies the definition of "years of experience" within West Virginia's education law to explicitly include service personnel, meaning individuals employed by a county board in roles other than teaching, such as administrative or support staff. Previously, the definition of "years of experience" primarily focused on teachers and registered professional nurses, allowing credit for time spent in the teaching profession, educational positions outside public schools, and military service if a teaching contract was in place at the time of induction. The amendment specifically adds that for the purpose of calculating advanced salaries, service personnel will now be granted years of service credit based on their employment history with the county board, ensuring their experience is recognized in salary classifications.
