Bill > HJR4

This resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution that would change the term of office for members of the West Virginia Board of Education from nine years to five years. The West Virginia Board of Education is responsible for the general supervision of the state's free schools, and its members are appointed by the governor with the consent of the senate. This change would require voter approval at the next general election in 2026, and the summarized purpose of the amendment is to shorten the term length for these board members.
