The Wyoming State Board of Education approved Chapter 3 Emergency Rules of Practice and Procedure around the state’s accountability requirements last week, granting an exception to accountability requirements for a school – for one school year – since schools have been unable administer the statewide assessment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergency rules offer a streamlined way for districts to request this exception for all of the schools in each district. Emergency rules expire 120 days after the effective date. The board also discussed options for continued work to create performance standards for Computer Science. Members agreed there was a need to formalize definitions of key terms, like performance standards, prior to creating Computer Science performance standards for grades K-12. Those definitions will be presented to the board at its May meeting.
