This bill aims to amend and clarify the definition of "years of experience" for service personnel within the West Virginia education system. Specifically, it introduces new language stating that service personnel will be granted years of service based on their years employed by the county board, as referenced in section 18A-4-8 of the code. This addition seeks to ensure that the experience of service personnel is recognized and accounted for in a manner similar to that of teachers and registered professional nurses.

The bill also includes various definitions related to salary classifications for educators, including basic and advanced salaries, as well as classifications of certification and training. While the bill does not propose any deletions from the existing law, it emphasizes the importance of recognizing the service years of personnel in the educational system, thereby potentially impacting their salary and benefits based on their tenure.
