This joint resolution emphasizes the importance of rural schools in Wyoming, recognizing their role in educating children, supporting rural ranch families, and preserving community identity. It highlights the constitutional guarantee of a free public education for all children in Wyoming and the Wyoming Supreme Court's mandate for equitable education financing. The resolution notes that there are fifteen small schools in the state that serve a total of 102 students in grades K-8 across twelve school districts, underscoring the need for continued support for these institutions.

It stresses the importance of maintaining a complete and uniform system of public instruction that serves all students, regardless of the size or location of their schools. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State to distribute copies of the resolution to the Department of Education for further dissemination to all school districts in Wyoming.
