Wyo. gov appoints state Education Dept. director

Gov. Matt Mead has selected an Arizona state senator to run the Wyoming Education Department. Mead late Wednesday afternoon announced his choice of Richard Crandall, who co-owns two nutritional service companies. The Education Department has a budget of about $1 billion a year and employs about 150 people. Mead and the Legislature enacted a new law this past winter removing the statewide elected superintendent of public instruction as head of the Education Department. Instead, the department will be administered by a director appointed by the governor. The change occurred in the middle of Superintendent Cindy Hill's 4-year term. Hill is challenging the constitutionality of the change. Crandall says that he'll let the superintendent situation take its own course and that he has a clean slate with everyone involved.

  1. We never know what these changes can give us, we can only hope that new opportunities. It is evident that the demands are usually so high but if we try to realize what modern education really needs, they appear so natural and simple. I just want to say that ordinary students dream about home assignment help as many years ago and their parents want them to study in a safe place, while teachers need appropriate conditions for work. Probably, it is time for modern leaders to pay attention to the public opinion.
