West Virginia HJR6 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to elect the Superintendent of Free Schools in the general election.

West Virginia HJR6 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to change the election process for the Superintendent of Free Schools. Currently, the Superintendent is appointed by the West Virginia Board of Education. The amendment would require the Superintendent to be elected every four years during the general election, making the Superintendent the chief school officer of the state. The Board of Education would still select the Superintendent, who would serve at the Board's discretion.
