Bill > HB0110

This bill modifies Wyoming's K-12 public school finance system by implementing the 2025 cost of education study, which outlines the components and calculations for the education resource block grant model, a system for funding schools. Key changes include updating how teacher staffing levels are determined based on student enrollment (ADM, or average daily membership), adjusting funding for various school roles like instructional facilitators, counselors, and nurses, and modifying how certain operational costs such as technology, instructional materials, and utilities are funded. The bill also introduces new restrictions on how funds distributed through the school foundation program account can be spent, specifically prohibiting their use for major building repairs or replacements. A significant provision requires all school districts to participate in the state employees' and officials' group insurance program starting in the 2027-2028 school year, with associated reimbursements for retirement and health insurance costs. Additionally, the bill continues the mental health services grant program and makes conforming amendments to various existing statutes related to school finance, retirement, and insurance.
