HJR 5 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To amend the West Virginia Constitution to change the term of office of the members of the West Virginia Board of Education from nine years to five years.

This proposed constitutional amendment would shorten the term of office for members of West Virginia's Board of Education from nine years to five years. Currently appointed by the governor with staggered nine-year terms, board members would serve five-year terms if approved by voters. The change requires voter approval at the 2026 general election, as specified in the resolution. It does not alter the board's structure, appointment process, or the requirement for gubernatorial appointments with Senate consent.
