Wyoming school funding amounts would be shielded from court review

Lawmakers would set a school funding formula and provide money to fund it. These rules would cover the operating costs of Wyoming public schools. Courts could review whether the formula meets the constitution, but could not review the amount lawmakers provide. The amendment would need approval from two-thirds of each legislative chamber and a majority of voters. The proposal calls for a vote at the next general election and would become part of the constitution if a majority of voters approved it.

School operating spending would fall by a uniform percentage when funding falls short. The cuts would cover public school operating spending under the funding formula. Cuts would apply when the money lawmakers provide cannot cover the spending called for by the funding formula. The amendment would need approval from two-thirds of each legislative chamber and a majority of voters.
