§ 21-2-203 — School district data collection and funding model administration; duties and responsibilities specified; data advisory committee; school district compliance

(a) The department shall collect data for the state's
school finance system and in accordance with rule and regulation
of the state superintendent, administer the Wyoming education
resource block grant model adopted by the Wyoming legislature
pursuant to W.S. 21-13-309. As used in this section, "school
finance system" means all statutes related to the terms and
conditions under which funds from Wyoming sources are made
available under Wyoming law to the public schools for school
operations. The school finance system established following a
1995 Wyoming supreme court decision, and subsequently modified
and recalibrated as required under W.S. 21-13-309(t), is
extremely complex and requires timely and accurate data to be
administered fairly and accurately. It is essential that a
single entity be established to ensure that fair and accurate
administration is accomplished.
(b) Repealed By Laws 2006, Chapter 37, § 2.
(c) The duties of the department are, in accordance with
rules promulgated by the state superintendent, to:
(i) Administer the school finance, data management
and reporting system for the funding of the public schools,
including enforcement of rules for compliance with submission of
data to the department by school districts;
(ii) Collect data from school districts necessary for
the department to administer the school finance system and the
statewide education accountability system established under W.S.
