The bill proposes the repeal of the statewide assessment system and the Wyoming Accountability in Education Act, along with other obsolete provisions related to education. It amends various sections of the Wyoming Statutes to remove references to the statewide education accountability system and assessment requirements. Key amendments include the deletion of the state superintendent's responsibilities regarding the statewide accountability system, the removal of the requirement for school districts to integrate their assessment systems with the statewide system, and the elimination of the state board's enforcement of the accountability system. Additionally, the bill mandates the state superintendent, state board of education, and department of education to create necessary rules for implementing these changes.

The bill also includes a timeline for the implementation of these changes, with most provisions becoming effective on July 1, 2024. Immediate effectiveness is granted for sections related to rulemaking. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline educational governance in Wyoming by eliminating the statewide assessment and accountability frameworks, thereby shifting the focus towards local district assessment systems and their alignment with state educational standards.
