Summary

The resolution changes the makeup of the State Board of Education, moving from a fully appointed nine‑member board to a hybrid model with five partisan elected members and four governor‑appointed at‑large members. All members would serve four‑year terms, with a limit of two terms per person, and no more than five members could belong to the same political party. The change would begin with the 2028 general election and also gives the board authority to issue rules that the Legislature must review.
