Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to education; removing a limitation on the number of charter schools that the Wyoming charter school authorizing board may authorize; making conforming amendments; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill removes existing limitations on the number of charter schools that the Wyoming charter school authorizing board can approve, effectively allowing the board to authorize an unlimited number of charter schools starting July 1, 2025. The legislation modifies previous restrictions that had capped non-school district charter schools at three (now changed to four) schools before July 1, 2025. The bill specifically amends a previous law to state that the Wyoming charter school authorizing board may authorize "any number of charter schools" after the specified date, while also adjusting related provisions about charter school authorization. Importantly, the three charter schools previously authorized by the state loan and investment board will count towards this total, and if any of those schools close, the Wyoming charter school authorizing board will be permitted to approve a replacement. The changes are part of ongoing efforts to potentially expand educational options and charter school opportunities in Wyoming, with the new provisions becoming effective on July 1, 2025.
