Education

As colleges scramble to prepare for a safe school year in the midst of the pandemic, are they prepared to enforce safe social distancing among their students?

When classes resume Aug. 18, students and staff with the district will have to wear masks in situations where social distancing cannot be maintained.

Wyoming Department of Education Officials are asking school districts throughout the state to submit plans for reopening this fall.

We are all figuring out new ways to get stuff done with social distancing and quarantine guidelines. That includes Yellowstone National Park which has been doing educational sessions on Facebook.

Outer Drive in Casper was also closed, as was Casper Mountain Road.

I always knew that we had a pretty good school district all throughout Wyoming, but I never knew how much money we were throwing into our children's education.

It's not very often that I take a look at how well things have been going monetarily in the U.S. but this short video caught my attention as it goes through the GDP (Gross Domestic Product.) over the last several years. Needless to say, Wyoming has had its fair share of ups & downs.

The trustees are set to vote on the annual budget for fiscal year 2020 on July 10.

Classes get underway on September 4th.

On average, how much money is being spent this year to educate one student?

The Expo, which was discontinued in 2012, is back this year with an expanded focus to many different outdoor activities.

The district also points to difficulty in filling a full schedule for sixth-grade competitions, saying that few 3A schools in western Wyoming offer team sports at that level.
