STATE OF WYOMING OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR JIM GERINGER GOVERNOR STATE CAPITOL CHEYENNE, WYOMING For Release: June 9, 1999 Contact: Eric Curry, 777-7437 Parent Resource Guide Save Parents Time, Money CHEYENNE One of the hardest parts of being a parent is knowing to whom to turn for help when it's needed. That's the reason for a new Parent Resource Guide being developed right now. The Wyoming Early Childhood Development Council (WECDC) is working to make sure parents find the services they need. According to Governor Jim Geringer, "There are more than 70 different early childhood development programs in Wyoming. This Parent Resource Guide is part of the council's efforts to assess challenges, resources, and services within our state for our young children's health, growth, and welfare." The Governor formed the council as a way for Wyoming to take a leadership role in early childhood development. The guide will have information for any parent of an unborn child up to eight years of age. The parent will find information about state programs and services in the areas of prenatal care, low birth weight, immunizations, health insurance, abuse, teen pregnancy, education, family services, daycare, and much more. The Council is developing a plan to distribute the resource guides to parents of newborns with the first distribution taking place by September 15, 1999. The resource guides can also be obtained state-wide for all parents by September 26, 1999 via two means:

Wyoming Education Policy Alternatives: Complying with the Recent Campbell Decision A MAP Inc. Issues Paper by James W. Guthrie Summary Wyoming has experienced three decades of judicial efforts to influence the state’s education finance system of contentious school finance litigation . Through four major decisions, beginning in 1971 and stretching to 2001, the state highest court has held that K-12 education: (1) is a constitutionally protected “fundamental interest” that must be guaranteed by state government, (2) cannot have its quality jeopardized by considerations of wealth, other than the wealth of the state as a whole, (3) must, in the court’s terms, be “proper,” “the best,” “unsurpassed,” and ”visionary,” and (4) must have its funding assured ahead of all other state endeavors.  The Court’s, February 23, 2001 ruling in Campbell County v State accepts the MAP Inc. “Cost Based Block Grant” education finance model as constitutional.  This most recent decision, nevertheless, poses for the Wyoming legislature an unusually complicated set of decisions. The Campbell II decision, taken in tandem with its predecessor, Campbell I, creates dual or overlapping authority.  It invests important decision making power, about how to achieve “the best” and “visionary” education system, both with local districts and with the state.  This overlap in authority could presage conflict. Strict adherence to the Supreme Court’s dictates risks having to spend more state funds on schooling than may be cost effective to meet the Court’s specified goal for Wyoming of having an  “an unsurpassed” education system
