SJR 7 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

WV Educational Governance Accountability Amendment

This proposal would require West Virginia's State Board of Education to submit all new education policies to the legislature for approval. Before submission, the board must hold public hearings on proposed policies. The legislature would have 60 days during a regular session to approve, amend, or reject policies; if no action is taken, the policy would automatically take effect. This directly affects the State Board of Education (which must seek approval) and the legislature (which gains oversight authority over education policies).
