West Virginia HB4584 proposes enhanced pay for teachers based on regional median home prices.
West Virginia HB4584 aims to adjust teacher salaries to reflect regional cost of living differences. The State Board of Education will determine median home prices and calculate a multiplier to enhance teacher salaries in high-cost areas. This enhancement will be paid annually and is in addition to existing salary schedules. The State Auditor will distribute these enhancements, which are subject to personal income tax. The bill also mandates reporting to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance and exempts these payments from the state grievance process.
