Bill > SB1064

This bill redefines "long-term substitute" for West Virginia public school personnel to mean a substitute employee who fills a position for more than thirty consecutive instructional days, regardless of whether the position is vacant or the regular employee is absent. It clarifies that a position expected to exceed thirty consecutive instructional days is considered a long-term substitute position and requires the individual filling it to have the appropriate credential, with specific posting requirements for such positions. The bill also excludes retired employees hired to fill vacant positions from this definition for the purposes of a specific code section related to retirement.
