Wyoming accountability effort seeks public comment

State education officials say Wyoming's school accountability effort remains a work in progress. State Board of Education Coordinator Paige Fenton Hughes says many accountability pieces are still being worked on. But Fenton Hughes says the education board is having several meetings around the state and some online to provide information on draft standards and to gather comment. During 1 of those meetings Monday in Cheyenne, pieces of the accountability system set to go before the Legislature in October were addressed. Fenton Hughes says that the overall goal of accountability is to have Wyoming become a leader in education. The effort currently has several pieces including the accountability model that will be used to grade schools and school districts and a system of statewide supports.
