An audit found that the Wyoming Education Department is unable to meet important data and information functions because of understaffing and fundamental operational issues. The report Monday by an independent firm underscores problems at the agency, which has been the subject of a political battle between Gov. Matt Mead and the Legislature on one side and Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill on the other. Mead and the Legislature enacted a new law this past winter removing Hill as head of the agency in favor of a director appointed by the governor. Part of the reason for the new law was dissatisfaction with how Hill was administering the agency. Hill, who is challenging the law's constitutionality, blames the governor and lawmakers for meddling with the agency's staff.
