EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Campbell County School District 1 trustees in Gillette met on Tuesday to review two new state laws that change restroom definitions and remove the gun-free zone policy at schools. The district must allow a 45-day public comment period before the laws take effect on July 1 and will assess insurance options for covering staff and volunteer firearm carry. County 17
- ➤ The Campbell County School District board voted 6—1 to rehire 33 principals and administrators for next school year after a delayed vote at the meeting. The decision means these employees will return when classes resume. Gillette News Record
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Wyoming now lets people sue police for wrongful arrests and poor investigations after a ruling by the Supreme Court. Law experts say the decision cuts limits of immunity — making it easier for citizens to get help if an officer did not do his job — and may change how complaints against police are handled. County 17
- ➤ Lawmakers in Cheyenne spent 10.5 hours discussing new interim committee rules after they meant to pick topics from the public—Senator Tara Nethercott's motion to cut committee meeting days from six to four passed, letting chairs request extra days if needed. Revised topic lists are due before April 22 and some lawmakers warned that less meeting time might reduce public input in making new laws. Wyoming Public Media
- ➤ Sen. Cynthia Lummis and AFL—CIO Executive Director Marcie Kindred discussed how tariff cuts and federal funding reductions will affect Wyoming jobs, manufacturing, and energy projects. They said that while returning manufacturing jobs may boost wages, ongoing federal cutbacks could reduce funds for safety programs and state projects. Wyoming News Now
- ➤ Construction for upgrades at Enzi Practice Fields will begin on April 14 and close the fields for public use until next spring when the project is completed. The City Council approved the $2 million project to improve parking, play fields, fences and irrigation. County 17
