This bill establishes a public lab school for students in kindergarten through grade eight in Wyoming, aimed at promoting differentiated instruction, serving as a teacher education institution, and identifying best teaching practices for statewide application. The school will be a collaborative effort between the University of Wyoming and the local school district, located on the university's main campus. A governing board consisting of eight members, including representatives from the resident school district and the University of Wyoming, will oversee the school’s operations, budget, and educational placements. The school is required to report annually on its implementation and administration, including student achievement and enrollment data.

The public lab school will operate under specific guidelines, allowing it to offer educational programs similar to those of traditional school districts while being exempt from certain district policies and state regulations. Admission will be open to all students within the resident school district, with a maximum capacity of 200 students, and a lottery system will be used if applications exceed capacity. Funding for the school will come from the education resource block grant model, and it is expected to begin operations by the 2025-2026 school year. The bill also clarifies that the public lab school will not be classified as a new school for funding purposes, allowing it to utilize data from the University of Wyoming Lab School for resource generation.
