Raising salaries for school service personnel

HB 5043 increases the minimum monthly salary for West Virginia school service personnel by $900, effective July 1, 2023-2027. It directly affects school service employees working more than 3.5 hours daily (with half-pay for shorter hours), setting new minimums across experience-based pay grades (A-H) in the State Minimum Pay Scale. The bill amends existing law to establish these higher salary levels for all school service personnel, with specific amounts varying by years of experience. This policy change updates compensation without altering eligibility or funding mechanisms.
