This is a compilation of education updates from around the state.
A GoFundMe campaign has been started by a group of Wyoming parents to pay for an attorney’s efforts to repeal changes to gun-free zones in Wyoming.
“Our goal is to support a school board willing to serve as the plaintiff in this case,” wrote Jo Newman, the fundraiser’s organizer. “Every dollar raised will go directly to legal fees associated with contesting this law and protecting the safety of our schools. The need for action is urgent, as insurance premiums for Wyoming school districts are already rising in response to the increased risks posed by this legislation.”
During the last legislative session, state lawmakers voted to repeal gun-free zones, allowing individuals to carry weapons into public areas like schools or city building/property. The legislative changes went in to effect on July 1, 2025.
Signs were placed in empty seats at the public comment session during a Natrona County School Board meeting in July 2025 on a proposed rule change related to the concealed carrying of weapons on school property.
The GoFundMe indicated the money raised will go to Robinson Bramlet LLC, a firm willing to challenge the law in court.
Robinson Brmalet, LLC has two attorneys: John Robinson and Marci Bramlet. They have offices in Jackson and Casper.
The campaign has raised $2,384, so far.
