Additionally, candidates are screened against the West Virginia child abuse and neglect registry. Clearance is required before the substitute permit can be issued.
Age Requirements
Substitute teachers in West Virginia must be at least 18 years of age. Candidates must provide valid identification to verify their age and identity as part of the permit application process.
