Overview

Wyoming treats home-based educational programs as private schools providing a basic academic educational program (W.S. 21-4-101(a)(iii), (vi)). HB 46 (2025) removed the annual curriculum submission and the rule that failing to submit was prima facie evidence of noncompliance. A child in the state ESA program who notifies the district complies with compulsory attendance (W.S. 21-4-102(d)).
