To consolidate county boards of education and create regional districts.

HB 4975 consolidates West Virginia's 55 county-based school districts into 11 regional districts, effective July 1, 2030. The bill directly affects all 55 counties by merging their school governance structures into the specified regional groupings (e.g., Region 1 combines McDowell, Mercer, and Monroe counties). Key provisions define the exact county compositions for each of the 11 regional districts, eliminating separate county boards of education. This change streamlines administrative oversight while maintaining local school operations under the new regional framework.
