Granting full time employees of county boards of education three months of paid leave following the birth of a child
HB 3256 would require county boards of education in West Virginia to provide full-time employees with three months of paid leave following the birth of a child, adoption, or foster care placement of a child. This leave would be in addition to any existing paid leave benefits the employee already receives. The bill amends existing law to explicitly guarantee this supplemental leave for all full-time school employees, regardless of gender. It does not replace other leave policies but adds this specific benefit for family-related events.
