Catch Title:
State board of education-membership.

Subject:
Modification of state board membership.

Summary/Major
Elements:

Prior to amendment, the law required the state board of
education consist of thirteen (13) members, seven (7) of which were to be
appointed in accordance with the districts under W.S. 9-1-218. The remaining
members consisted of the state superintendent, the director and four (4)
appointments that reflect certain interest areas or qualifications.

This act modifies the appointments made pursuant to W.S.
9-1-218, requiring rotation among the counties comprising the appointment
district.

Further, of the four (4) members appointed to represent
certain interest groups, it requires one (1) member previously appointed to
represent the private business or industry be appointed from the board of
trustees of a Wyoming school district.

The law provides the appointment of the board of
trustees member shall commence upon the expiration of the term of a member
appointed to represent private business or industry in Wyoming.
