The resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution, specifically to Article XII, Section 2, which pertains to the governance of education in the state. The amendment aims to establish a framework for legislative review and approval of rules and policies set forth by the West Virginia Board of Education. Key provisions include requirements for public hearings prior to the board proposing new rules, a timeline for legislative review, and stipulations for emergency rule implementation. The amendment also mandates that all legislative actions regarding educational policies be documented and made available to the public.

This proposed amendment, designated as "Amendment 1" and titled the "West Virginia Educational Governance Accountability Amendment," will be submitted to voters in the 2026 general election. Its primary purpose is to enhance legislative oversight of educational policies while allowing the State Board of Education to continue its operations. However, the amendment may face challenges related to the separation of powers, the independence of educational governance, and concerns about the potential politicization of education. Public perception of legislative involvement in education will be a significant factor in determining the amendment's success.
