SF 188 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Teacher tenure.

This bill removes "continuing contract" status (commonly called tenure) for Wyoming teachers. It requires annual performance evaluations for teachers until they earn an "effective" rating for two consecutive years, after which evaluations occur every three years. The bill also modifies hearing procedures for teacher suspensions, dismissals, and terminations, and eliminates the legal concept of tenure from the state's teacher employment law. These changes directly affect teachers who currently hold continuing contracts (tenure) in Wyoming school districts.
