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.

HJR 4 proposes a constitutional amendment to change the term length for members of the West Virginia Board of Education from nine years to five years. This would affect the nine appointed board members, altering the current system of staggered nine-year terms (with original appointments spread across one to nine years) to five-year terms. The amendment requires voter approval at the 2026 general election to take effect. It does not change the appointment process, removal rules, or other board responsibilities outlined in the existing constitution.
