To amend the West Virginia Constitution to create nine seperate districts for the members of the West Virginia Board of Education.

HJR 1 proposes amending the West Virginia Constitution to require the Board of Education to divide the state into nine geographic districts, each comprising one or more county school boards. It would replace gubernatorial appointments with elections, mandating that each district elects one Board member from its own county school board. The amendment specifies that elected members must be current county board members, establishes election timing, and includes rules about political party balance and removal procedures. This change would affect all 55 county school boards and the structure of the statewide Board of Education, requiring voter approval in the 2026 general election. The bill does not alter education policy but changes how Board members are selected.
