State Board of Education

State Board of Education Chair Walt Wilcox said the board has long had an interest in having a UW representative, in order to provide better educational oversight and collaboration in Wyoming schools.

“My hope is that this will lead to broader, richer discussions about standards. Having everybody at the table will help us make better policy decisions for Wyoming Education,” Gosar said.

The Wyoming State Board of Education has approved new K-12 science standards, the first new standards in 13 years.

After nearly a year of work, a committee has completed a draft set of science standards for K-12 students in Wyoming.

Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow is catching flak over her recommendation to cut funding for the State Board of Education's coordinator position.
