HB 2841 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To determine the salaries of all county Superintendent of School based on population.

HB 2841 (2025) establishes a population-based formula to set maximum salaries for all 55 West Virginia county school superintendents, effective July 1, 2026. The bill requires the West Virginia Department of Education to create a salary schedule where maximum pay for each superintendent is determined by their county's student population, ensuring equitable pay per pupil across all counties. Salaries must be prorated so that the maximum amount per student remains consistent regardless of county size, with the schedule updated at least every five years. This directly affects county school superintendents by replacing current salary-setting methods with a standardized, population-linked system.
