Longer reviews for Wyoming charter school applications
Wyoming charter school reviewers now have 120 days after receiving an application to approve or deny it, up from 90. The law removes the former 30-day completeness notice deadline. Reviewers must still explain why an application is incomplete so applicants can resubmit. A public hearing remains required after an application is found complete, but the former 60-day hearing deadline is removed. Reviews also require an in-person interview with the applicant or applicant group. Converting an existing school requires teacher and parent support at the levels already required by state law. Reviewers must adopt the charter's content and terms before approval. The law took effect immediately and applies only to new applications submitted on or after its effective date.
