Bill overview
This bill aims to increase the pay of substitute teachers in West Virginia to match the daily rate paid to full-time teachers. Currently, substitute teachers receive an amount equal to 80% of a full-time teacher’s daily salary, with additional increases for longer consecutive teaching periods. This legislation seeks to equalize the pay scale, providing a higher rate for substitute teachers who work for extended periods in the same position. The bill specifies that substitute teachers working over 30 days in a position will receive the same daily rate as a full-time teacher in their county.
