Wyoming school districts would have to get special permission to bypass state recommendations for class sizes under a bill approved by the state House.
The bill passed by the House Monday updates the state's $1.2 billion annual school funding model. The state Senate will consider House Bill 127 next.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that the House approved an amendment requiring local school officials to show that funding is going toward smaller student-to-teacher ratios for kindergarten through third-grade classes or seek permission from the state to do otherwise.
Rep. Matt Teeters, a Republican from Lingle, says elementary school students suffer when the money isn't used to keep class sizes small.
