Failure of Wyoming’s House and Senate to resolve the issue of funding for public education this year meant both good news and disappointment for Pete Kilbride, who’s superintendent of Sheridan County School District 1.
Because Wyoming’s lawmakers were unable to close on a final funding bill in this year’s session, Kilbride said, the state’s public schools in the coming year will receive about the same funding from the state as they received for the current year.
The good news, Kilbride said, is that he will be able to fill seven vacant positions that he was holding off on hiring.
