K-12 school facility leasing.

HB 20 requires Wyoming school districts and charter schools leasing K-12 facilities to include specific funding for major building maintenance in lease agreements. The bill mandates that lease contracts separately identify and track funds dedicated solely to major maintenance, prohibiting their use for other purposes without approval. If a district leases space not counted toward its total square footage for maintenance calculations, the state will reimburse the district for lease payments - capped at the lesser of the total lease cost or the average cost per square foot for comparable public school facilities. This applies to all lease agreements involving district-owned facilities included in the state's facility database, effective July 1, 2025.
