School finance-mental health services.

HB 34 creates a two-year grant program for Wyoming public school districts to fund mental health services for K-12 students. Districts can apply for competitive grants of up to $120,000 annually (totaling $11.52 million in funding), with funds administered by the state Department of Education and separate from existing education funding. To qualify, districts must submit proposals detailing mental health needs, service plans, and timelines, and report on service impact and student outcomes. The program specifically targets K-12 public schools in Wyoming, with grants available for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years.
