HJR 36 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Amendment to Clarify WV Board of Education duties and authority

HJR 36 proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify the duties and authority of the West Virginia Board of Education. The amendment would update Article XII, Section 2 of the state constitution to specify that the Board "shall perform only such duties as may be prescribed by law." This resolution requires voter approval at the 2026 general election to become part of the constitution. The change aims to provide clearer constitutional language but does not alter the Board's existing structure, appointment process, or current responsibilities.
