How is Wyoming's K-12 school finance recalibration bill Senate File 81 moving through the Legislature?

Senate File 81, the K-12 school finance recalibration, cleared the Wyoming Senate's Committee of the Whole on Feb. 19 with roughly $157.1 million in added K-12 funding over two years and moved to the House, which on Feb. 27 rejected a 15% categorical-grant flexibility amendment while adopting an amendment standardizing regional cost adjustments and expanding allowable salary growth. Companion legislation moving alongside SF 81 includes SF 14 (a full-time literacy coordinator at the Wyoming Department of Education, which the Senate concurred on March 4), SF 59 (a K-12 literacy and screening package), and HB 105 (K-12 facilities).
