206-21 Wyo. Code R. § 21-4

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 21-4 - Procedure for Implementing Alternative Schedule

(a) A district shall submit alternative schedule proposals between January 1 and May 1 preceding the school calendar year for which the schedule will be implemented.

(b) No alternative schedule shall be approved by the State Board of Education which reduces the pupil-teacher contact time defined by the State Board. This definition is not intended to replace with minimum hours the number of days a district or school has agreed to meet once an approved schedule is in place.

(c) Alternative schedules will be approved by the State Board of Education only when fewer than 175 days of teacher-student contact are proposed.

(d) A district shall submit a request which includes:

  • (i) educational objectives that identify how students will benefit educationally,
  • (ii) a description of the schedule, and
  • (iii) a method for evaluating if the student learning has improved and whether the schedule has achieved the outlined objectives.

(e) A district shall submit evidence that it has held at least two (2) advertised public meetings prior to submission of a proposed alternative schedule to the State Board of Education. At these public meetings the district board will present the proposed alternative and respond to public questions and comments. The district shall submit record of public comment.

(f) In approving requests for an alternative schedule the State Board shall specify the time period for which approval is granted, not to exceed two (2) years, nor less than one (1) year.

(g) During time for which approval is granted, the district shall submit its intention to continue the alternative schedule. An evaluation of the prior year's experience will be submitted by July 1 of each year.
