The bill modifies the responsibilities of school district boards of trustees in Wyoming regarding access to post-secondary education for high school students. Specifically, it mandates that these boards, in collaboration with the University of Wyoming and other accredited post-secondary institutions, ensure that eligible students have access to programs that provide a minimum of twelve (12) post-secondary credit hours. This requirement applies to students in grades nine (9) through twelve (12).
The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. The changes aim to enhance educational opportunities for high school students by integrating post-secondary education options into their academic experience, thereby promoting a smoother transition to higher education.
