School districts may request the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) review findings identified by the Wyoming Department of Audit during school finance audits conducted according to WS 9-1-513.
Any state-authorized charter school or school district, within thirty (30) days following receipt of a copy of the audit, may send written notice and information to the WDE, to the attention of Superintendent Megan Degenfelder, and Chief Operations Officer Trent Carroll.
The request shall contain:
- The finding(s) the district disputes.
- An explanation of why the district disputes the finding(s).
- The legal authority the district relies on.
- Changes in the amount the Department of Audit has determined should be repaid to the Public School Foundation Program Account.
- Any additional facts, information, or documents to support the district’s position.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction or a designee shall issue a decision as soon as reasonably practicable. The WDE shall follow up on the decision in writing and outline the basis for that decision.
For more information, contact Leslie Zimmerschied, School Foundation Program Supervisor, at leslie.zimmerschied@wyo.gov or 307-777-6000.
