HB 4637 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Limit the time Teachers Aides can be pulled from their regular duties to 30 minutes per day.

HB 4637 limits teacher aides in West Virginia public schools to no more than 30 minutes per day when they are pulled from their regular job duties to cover other tasks. The bill amends state education code to establish this clear time cap for all aides temporarily reassigned outside their primary responsibilities. It directly affects teacher aides by ensuring they spend most of their workday in their designated roles rather than being diverted for other duties. This policy change creates a concrete, measurable restriction on how often schools can reassign aide time.
