Regarding Substitute Teacher Pay
HB 4465 would adjust substitute teacher pay in West Virginia by increasing rates after specific work periods. After 10 consecutive days in the same position, substitutes would earn 80% of the advanced salary (based on teaching experience), and after 30 days, they would receive the full advanced salary - matching the daily rate for full-time teachers in their county. This applies to substitutes working in the same position within a school year. The bill replaces the current minimum of 80% of the basic salary rate for all assignments with this tiered system.
