West Virginia Supreme Court Rules New Education Law Unconstitutional

The West Virginia Supreme Court has delivered a 4-1 decision, finding a 2025 state law unconstitutional. The law, House Bill 2755, had attempted to shift rule-making authority for education policy from the West Virginia Board of Education to the State Legislature. The court's majority opinion stated that this constituted an interference with the Board's rulemaking power, upholding the will of voters who rejected a similar constitutional amendment in 2022.
