HB0037

Wyoming HB0037 allows school boards to expel students for more than a year if they possess a deadly weapon.

Wyoming HB0037 amends the state's education code to allow school district boards of trustees to expel a student for more than a year if they possess a deadly weapon. The bill specifies that the board must require the expulsion of any student found to violate the deadly weapon possession rule for at least one year. However, the board may extend the expulsion period if the district provides educational services to the expelled student in an alternative setting after the initial one-year period. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025.
