Furthermore, the resolution stipulates that the proposed amendment will be presented to the voters of West Virginia during the next general election in 2026 for ratification or rejection. It emphasizes that no more than five members of the board can belong to the same political party and outlines the conditions under which a board member may be removed from office. The amendment is designated as "Amendment No. 1," and its purpose is succinctly summarized as changing the term of office for members of the West Virginia Board of Education from nine years to five years.
