This bill proposes an amendment to the election process for members of county boards of education in West Virginia. It stipulates that each county board will consist of five members, with two members elected as "at large members" without regard to their residence within the county. The remaining three members will be elected based on their magisterial districts, ensuring that no two district members are elected from the same magisterial district. The bill clarifies that not every magisterial district is required to have an elected district member.

The bill removes the previous restriction that limited the election of members from the same magisterial district, thereby allowing for a more flexible and diverse representation on the county boards of education. This change aims to enhance regional diversity while still maintaining a structured election process for the board members.
