This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia, specifically targeting section 18-3-9, which pertains to the State Department of Education. The primary objective of the bill is to reduce the number of associate state superintendent of schools positions from two to one.

To implement this change, the bill introduces new language that specifies there may be no more than one associate state superintendent of schools position. Additionally, it updates the language to be gender-neutral by replacing "his" and "he" with "his or her" and "may" instead of "shall have authority to." These changes aim to streamline the administrative structure within the State Department of Education while ensuring inclusivity in the language used.
