Relating to require county school boards to provide one day in-service training to prepare county employees for annual competency tests.
HB 5584 requires West Virginia county school boards to provide one day of in-service training annually to school service employees preparing for mandatory competency tests. These tests determine qualification for specific job classifications, such as cafeteria managers or secretaries, as defined by state law. The training must help employees meet the test requirements, which are designed to align with job duties without altering the tests or passing standards. This bill applies directly to county school boards and their employees who must take the annual competency tests.
