Extractions: Wyoming Education Policy Alternatives: Complying with the Recent Campbell Decision A MAP Inc. Issues Paper by James W. Guthrie Summary Wyoming has experienced three decades of judicial efforts to influence the states education finance system of contentious school finance litigation . Through four major decisions, beginning in 1971 and stretching to 2001, the state highest court has held that K-12 education: (1) is a constitutionally protected fundamental interest that must be guaranteed by state government, (2) cannot have its quality jeopardized by considerations of wealth, other than the wealth of the state as a whole, (3) must, in the courts terms, be proper, the best, unsurpassed, and visionary, and (4) must have its funding assured ahead of all other state endeavors. The Courts, February 23, 2001 ruling in Campbell County v State accepts the MAP Inc. Cost Based Block Grant education finance model as constitutional. This most recent decision, nevertheless, poses for the Wyoming legislature an unusually complicated set of decisions. The Campbell II decision, taken in tandem with its predecessor, Campbell I, creates dual or overlapping authority. It invests important decision making power, about how to achieve the best and visionary education system, both with local districts and with the state. This overlap in authority could presage conflict. Strict adherence to the Supreme Courts dictates risks having to spend more state funds on schooling than may be cost effective to meet the Courts specified goal for Wyoming of having an an unsurpassed education system
