- ➤ Campbell County School District 1 trustees rescinded the planned 25‐cent meal price increase for the upcoming school year after Nutrition Services Director Bryan Young presented data on full‐pay and free meal participation.

GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ On April 8, Wyoming House and Senate leaders met in Cheyenne to cut interim committee meeting days from six to four and give chairs more control on agendas—an effort to save state funds estimated at $120,000 to $140,000. Revised meeting topics must be sent to leadership by April 22. Wyoming Public Media
- ➤ On April 3, the Wyoming State Board of Land Commissioners voted to close an 618-acre section of state trust land 14 miles north of Gillette to recreational shooting for three years. Ranchers had requested the measure to stop littering, property damage, and cattle losses, and the area will still allow hunting, hiking, and day-use activities (the board may adjust the closure if a solution is reached). County 17
- ➤ The Wyoming Department of Transportation said all Wyoming driver’s licenses and ID cards now show a star—marking their compliance with federal Real ID rules by May 7.
