Governor Gordon Appoints Brian Schroeder Superintendent of Public Instruction
Governor Mark Gordon has appointed Brian Schroeder to be Wyoming’s Superintendent of Public Instruction. Schroeder replaces Superintendent Jillian Balow who resigned January 16 to become Superintendent of Public Instruction at the Virginia Department of Education. Under state statute the Governor is required to select one of three candidates submitted to him by the Republican Party Central Committee.
Schroeder has worked as a teacher and administrator in private schools in California, Wisconsin, Michigan and Wyoming and as a family and youth counselor. He most recently served as Head of School at Cody’s Veritas Academy, a private Christian school. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from Maranatha Baptist University and holds a Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.
“I reviewed application materials and conducted interviews with all the candidates that came through the selection process, and after much prayer and careful consideration I have determined that Brian Schroeder is best-suited to fill the Superintendent’s position,” Governor Gordon said. “Brian demonstrated his commitment to ensuring that parents are intricately involved in their children’s education, just as it should be. I will work to ensure a smooth transition in leadership for the Wyoming Department of Education.”
“I am honored and humbled beyond words at this incredible opportunity to serve the students, teachers and parents of Wyoming,” Schroeder said. “I’ll do my best to help strengthen education for the future of our state.”
Schroeder will serve as Superintendent for the remainder of Balow’s term, which ends in January 2023.

I can’t think of a better man to serve the state of Wyoming! I’ve known Brian over 20 years and have known him as a servant to others as a counselor to youth and as a school administrator. He’s an even better human being who connects well with kids and parents!

We are a public education state and the Wyoming GOP sends us a sectarian private academy administrator. We are a land grant school state that promises in our state constitution a quality and equal education. Well elections matter in 2020 and it wasn’t Marti Halverson.

Just keep the woke curriculum out of WY schools, and question everything the unelected health bureaucrat harrist tells you, and you will do OK.

Believes that CRT is a real issue, even though it is not taught at any public school anywhere- check. Given charge of Public Instruction when he never taught in a public school- check. Believes that health issues should be dealt with without input from health professionals- check. Exactly the kind of propaganda driven choice we’ve come to expect from our fake moderate governor.
