Governor’s RIDE Advisory Group Seeks Input on Elevating Education in Wyoming

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon’s K-12 Education advisory group has released a short survey seeking input and ideas from Wyoming residents on how to create the ideal education system for the future of the state. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The Reimagining and Innovating the Delivery of Education (RIDE) Advisory Group was announced in May and it is tasked with studying and developing recommendations for elevating Wyoming’s primary and secondary education system into a position of national leadership. According to Governor Gordon’s Office, its membership includes independent volunteers with an interest in Wyoming’s education system, and key to that effort is learning more about what families, communities and businesses expect from the state’s educational system.

Gordon said they are seeking input through a survey and they want to hear from everyone who cares about Wyoming’s K-12 education system – parents, students, educators and employers, and they want their opinions about what it is they’d like Wyoming schools to be able to deliver for students. Community listening sessions are planned for late spring and summer across the state. Additional information on the RIDE Advisory Group, and a link to the survey can be found here.
