Why: In recognizing the challenges ahead regarding the financial state of the district, a cost savings task force is being formed as an advisory committee to the Superintendent and Board of Trustees to provide options moving forward.   This task force is not a decision-making entity, but rather a committee to provide recommendations to the district.

It is important to contact legislators and lobby for education in the state of Wyoming. The best way to contact legislators is email as they are checking emails constantly. Phone calls are less effective and it can be some time before the legislators get the message. Contact information is listed below.
