The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, specifically targeting section 12-2 of article XII, which governs the term lengths of members of the West Virginia Board of Education. The amendment seeks to reduce the term of office for board members from the current nine years to five years. This change aims to allow for more frequent turnover and potentially greater responsiveness to the educational needs of the state. The board will still consist of nine members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and the amendment maintains existing provisions regarding political party representation and removal of board members.

The resolution has been referred to the Committee on Education and then the Judiciary, and it is set to be presented to voters for ratification or rejection during the general election in 2026. The proposed 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. The resolution includes specific language changes to the existing law, indicating which parts will be deleted and which will be added.
