The 61st Session of the Wyoming Legislature Begins Soon
The 2010 Budget Session of the 61st Wyoming Legislature will begin on February 8, 2010 and is scheduled to adjourn on March 5th. The budget session is every other year and is scheduled to last 20 days. Last year’s legislative session was the general session and that session lasted 40 days. We anticipate that there will not be any major educational bills this year. The state legislators approved a new school funding model starting with the 2006-07 school year. The funding model is scheduled to be recalibrated after five years. The legislators have left the funding model basically untouched since they approved the model. The funding model will be recalibrated during the 2011 legislative session. During recalibration, there could be major changes to the current model. There are always many issues to watch and track during a general session that not only affect our schools, but affect us personally or professionally. The best way to track the progress of legislation is through the internet or the news media. Another way is to contact your elected officials.
