Providing for in-year school personnel movement to meet school needs.

Summary

HB 5012 changes West Virginia teacher contracts so that, when a teacher is let go because the district has no need for their position, they can be moved into an unfilled vacancy based on length of service. It also allows the superintendent to reassign surplus staff after the second month of school under strict conditions, and it sets notice, hearing, and grievance procedures to prevent arbitrary or retaliatory moves. The measure affects teachers, other school personnel, and county boards of education.
