The West Virginia Senate Education Committee convened on February 14, 2025, to establish its operational framework for the legislative session. The meeting began with a silent roll call, confirming a quorum was present.

Vice Chair initiated a series of motions to adopt the rules governing the committee's deliberations, which were unanimously approved. The committee also authorized the chair to set the agenda for future meetings and permitted staff to make necessary technical corrections to bills and resolutions presented to the committee. Additionally, the committee granted authority for legal counsel to incorporate all bills and resolutions into a committee substitute as needed.

The meeting included introductions of key staff members, including committee counsel Hank Hager and clerk Ben Mack, who is expecting a child this summer. The committee welcomed both returning and new members, fostering a collaborative atmosphere.

With no further business to discuss, the committee adjourned after a brief session, marking a productive start to the legislative year. The decisions made will guide the committee's work in addressing educational issues in West Virginia.
