CHEYENNE – The Wyoming State Board of Education (SBE) will consider action on annual accreditation recommendations for school districts, as well as approval of alternative schedule applications at its next meeting on June 16, 2022.
The SBE will meet virtually on the Zoom online platform; it will also discuss the approval of the WY-ALT assessment blueprint for Mathematics.
Recommendations for accreditation or accreditation with support have been received for all 48 Wyoming school districts and two state-funded institutions. The board has also received applications for alternative schedules from Albany County School District #1’s Whiting High School and Crook County School District #1 for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years.
The board will continue its support of Career Technical Education programs with presentations from business and industry representatives who are currently partnering with schools to offer internship experiences to high school students in their communities.
“Business and industry are critical partners in offering students quality internship experiences,” said Ryan Fuhrman, SBE Chairman. “As the board has heard throughout the listening sessions on the Profile of a Graduate, these types of experiences provide students authentic opportunities to apply their learning and gain the skills that are important to their success after high school.”
All SBE meetings are open to the public. To attend the meeting virtually, register in advance here. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Materials for board meetings are available on BoardDocs. Previous meetings’ minutes and materials may be viewed through the board’s website. Follow the SBE on Facebook and Twitter.
