Wyoming legislative committee advances K-12 education bill with $100M cut to funding model

Tom Coulter Wyoming Tribune Eagle Via Wyoming News Exchange CHEYENNE – State lawmakers advanced a bill Tuesday to renew the funding model for Wyoming’s K-12 education system but included both a $100 million cut and a provision that could eventually lead to an increase to the state’s sales and use tax. The Select Committee on School Finance Recalibration, made up of several high-profile lawmakers, held a two-day meeting this week as part of the recalibration process, which the Legislature goes through every five years to review what constitutes an equitable education system in the state. During meetings earlier this year, legislators heard from hired consultants, who provided a rundown of recommendations for an effective, cost-based funding model for the state’s schools.
