Military dependents-school choice.
Wyoming's SF 123 allows children of active-duty military members to transfer between public schools within their school district at any time. To transfer, parents must provide proof they filed a discrimination complaint with a military base equal opportunity office. School districts may deny transfers only for lack of space at the requested grade level or if the student is suspended/expelled. Districts must report denials to the state superintendent within 10 days, and parents can seek review under Wyoming's administrative procedures. The bill directly affects military-connected students and school districts in Wyoming, effective July 1, 2023.
