WFA COMMENTARY & UPDATES:
Open enrollment within Wyoming School Districts empowers parents to choose the public school they want to send their child to. This minimal but important school-choice measure gives parents the opportunity to enroll their students in the school of their choice.
WFA Position: Support
While this legislation only minimally empowers parents, it still helps place the parent in the driver’s seat of their child’s education.
