West Virginia Educational Governance Accountability Amendment

SJR 13 is a proposed constitutional amendment (not a regular bill) that would require the West Virginia Board of Education to seek legislative approval for education policies. It mandates the Board hold public hearings before proposing rules, submit them to the legislature within 30 days, and gives lawmakers 60 days after the next session to approve, amend, or reject them (with policies deemed approved if no action is taken). This amendment directly affects the Board of Education and the legislature by shifting oversight authority to lawmakers for education policy decisions. It does not change the Board's composition or the superintendent's role but adds a formal legislative review step for all education policies.
