Wyoming schools get more state literacy support

Beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides Wyoming’s Department of Education $240,000 from the Public School Foundation Program Account. This funds one full-time employee to help school districts with reading tests, reading intervention, and required language and literacy programs. Funding runs through June 30, 2028, with spending capped at $120,000 per fiscal year. The department cannot transfer the money or use it for another purpose. Any money left unspent and uncommitted reverts as provided by law on June 30, 2028. The legislature states its intent that the department request this funding and position again in its next two-year budget.
