CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's proposed
overhaul of West Virginia schools has cleared its first legislative
hurdle, but with several changes.
The Senate Education Committee amended key provisions on Tuesday before advancing the bill.
One
change requires at least four faculty senate meetings annually. Tomblin
reserved no days in his bid to ensure 180 days of student instruction
each school year.
Another change would no longer count athletic tournaments toward instructional days.
The bill still gives principals a say on hiring, but the committee barred them from recommending relatives.
Tuesday's
amendment would limit Tomblin's proposed reposting of classroom
teaching vacancies. They could be reposted just once, and only if less
than three people applied the first time.
The amended bill still allows the nonprofit Teach for America program into state classrooms.
