The resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution regarding the governance of the State Board of Education. It seeks to change the composition of the board from being entirely appointed by the Governor to a mixed system where five members are elected on a partisan basis and four members are appointed by the Governor with Senate consent. The elected members will serve four-year terms, while the appointed members will have staggered initial terms of one to four years. This amendment aims to enhance democratic participation in education governance by allowing voters to elect a portion of the board, with the first elections for these positions scheduled for 2028.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the board's authority to promulgate rules and policies, which must be submitted to the Legislature for review and approval. It establishes specific qualifications for board membership and stipulates that members can only be removed by the Governor under certain conditions. The amendment is designated as "Amendment No. 1" and is intended to be presented to voters for ratification or rejection in the 2026 general election. The overall goal is to improve accountability and oversight within the state's educational system.
