To amend the West Virginia Constitution to provide for the election of the West Virginia Superintendent of Free Schools in the General Election.

HJR 6 proposes amending the West Virginia Constitution to require the state Superintendent of Free Schools to be elected directly by voters in general elections every four years, rather than being appointed by the State Board of Education. This change would affect the superintendent position and voters, shifting selection from a board appointment to a statewide election. The bill specifies that the superintendent would serve as the chief school officer with powers defined by law, while maintaining the current structure of the State Board of Education.
