The proposed amendment to the Wyoming Constitution aims to transfer the responsibility for constructing public school facilities from the state to local school districts. Under the new Article 7, Section 24, local school districts will be primarily responsible for providing school facilities through bonds or other financing methods. The amendment stipulates that any capital expenditures for public school construction must be approved by voters, and if rejected, neither the school district nor the state will be obligated to fund those projects. Additionally, the amendment includes provisions for equalizing the cost of bond payments across districts to ensure that the required mill levy does not exceed the state average per person assessed valuation.

Furthermore, the amendment allows for state funding mechanisms to support local districts, including appropriations or dedicated funding sources, and may involve a statewide mill levy if necessary. It also empowers the legislature to determine which capital facilities are not essential for education and therefore exempt from equalization. The amendment is a response to a 2001 Wyoming Supreme Court decision that placed the responsibility for school facilities on the state, and it seeks to restore local control while ensuring equitable funding through state support.
