To modify the required amount of contracted teaching days and provide for breaks per semester for teachers.

HB 4115 reduces the required number of instructional days for students in West Virginia from 180 to 160 per school year. It mandates that county school boards provide built-in breaks for teachers during the fall and spring semesters, to be scheduled after standardized testing. The 20 days saved from the reduced instructional requirement will be allocated to these breaks. This change directly affects public school teachers and county school districts by altering the school calendar to include additional time off for educators.
