What changed in the latest version

The recent amendment to Bill HB 192 modifies the fees for teaching, administrative, and support certificates issued by the West Virginia State Board of Education. Specifically, it now ensures that first-time out-of-state applicants with a comparable certification from another state will not be charged any fees, aside from background check costs. Additionally, it requires that out-of-state applicants without comparable certifications cannot be charged more than in-state applicants for their certificates. This change is important as it aims to make it easier for qualified teachers from other states to work in West Virginia, potentially helping to alleviate teacher shortages and improve educational quality.
