SF 52 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

School finance-special education funding.

This bill changes how Wyoming school districts receive state funding for special education. It requires the state to reimburse districts 100% of their actual spending from the previous school year on special education programs and related administrative costs for Medicaid billing, instead of using a previous formula. The total state reimbursement cannot exceed the amount paid in the 2018-2019 school year, even if more funds are appropriated. This directly affects all K-12 public school districts in Wyoming that provide special education services. The bill repeals an outdated funding provision and takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
