Bill > HB0259

This bill provides supplemental appropriations for K-12 school facilities in Wyoming for the fiscal biennium from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2026. The bill appropriates $29,832,716 for component-level major maintenance projects across various school districts, including high schools, elementary schools, and intermediate schools in districts like Sublette, Converse, Campbell, and others. Additionally, it allocates $14,473,224 for a transportation facility ancillary building in Campbell County School District #1, and provides $20,000,000 for initial design and construction of a high school building, with an additional $130,884,528 appropriated effective March 15, 2026, for continued construction. The bill also sets aside $11,711,428 for unanticipated project costs and reappropriates up to $13,400,000 from previous appropriations to cover inflationary expenses. Furthermore, it mandates a study by the school facilities division to examine whether the state construction department should directly manage major building and facility repairs for all K-12 public schools in Wyoming, with reports to be submitted to legislative committees by October 1, 2025, and each October thereafter until 2031. The appropriations are not guaranteed and must be spent efficiently to ensure adequate school facilities according to district facility plans.
