This bill mandates enhanced reporting and data collection from school districts in Wyoming to support the recalibration of the education resource block grant model. Specifically, school districts are required to report unfilled staffing vacancies, average mileage reimbursed for travel, and the insured and estimated replacement values of school facilities by specified deadlines in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, the state superintendent and the state construction department must compile and report this data to the legislative service office by March 2025 and March 2026, respectively. The bill also outlines requirements for the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services and other state departments to provide detailed wage information and demographic data related to school district employees.

The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2024. The bill aims to gather comprehensive data that will inform the regional cost adjustments in the education funding model, ultimately enhancing the financial support for schools in Wyoming.
