Upcoming: School Facilities Commission Meeting @ Johnson County SD1. June 6-8
As the result of rulings made by the Wyoming Supreme Court, the responsibility for school construction shifted from local school districts to the state, which created a need for an oversight agency.
The School Facilities Commission (SFC) was established in 2002 when the 56th Legislature enacted House Bill 0043. It was created to ensure adequate and equitable K-12 educational facilities throughout the state.
The Commission consists of seven voting members who are appointed by the sitting governor and approved by the Legislature. In addition to the voting members, the state Superintendent of Public Instruction serves in an ex officio, nonvoting capacity. Each appointed member serves a four-year term.
Commission Meetings & Materials
Wyoming statute requires the School Facilities Commission to meet at least once per quarter. However, the current Commission meets on a bi-monthly basis; with meetings taking place over a two-day period.
The first day is an informal work session where Commissioners are briefed on 1) items that will require official action and 2) items that are only being presented for informational purposes. Then, on the second day, the Commission holds a formal business meeting to vote on various action items on the agenda.
If you would like to present an action or information item to the Commission:
Send an email request to Valerie Hughes at valerie.hughes@wyo.gov. Your email should be accompanied by a letter that is: 1) composed on district letterhead, 2) clearly outlines your request/issue, and 3) signed by the district superintendent.
Due dates for requests vary from month to month.
Also provide any supporting information that will help the Commission better understand the request/issue being presented.
Since the information you provide will be included in the SFC meeting packet, we ask that documents be submitted in an electronic format and limited to 10 letter sized pages.
SFD will review and forward your information to the Commission Chair for further review and final inclusion on the agenda.
To help ensure the Commission has time to address all agenda items, please limit your presentation to 15-20 minutes.
