West Virginia Board of Education Challenges Legislative Authority in Supreme Court
October 7, 2025 - 03:55
CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Board of Education is seeking clarity from the state’s highest court regarding the legislative authority over its rulemaking process. In a significant legal move, the Board filed a lawsuit on Friday aimed at compelling the Secretary of State’s Office to publish the proposed rules that the board has approved.
The core of the dispute centers on whether the state legislature has the power to approve or reject rules established by the Board of Education. This legal challenge highlights ongoing tensions between the legislative and educational branches in West Virginia, raising questions about the autonomy of educational governance.
The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for how educational policies are crafted and implemented in the state. By bringing this issue before the Supreme Court, the Board of Education is seeking to affirm its authority and ensure that its regulatory framework is respected and upheld. The decision will be closely watched by educators, lawmakers, and stakeholders across West Virginia.
