The SBE welcomes a handful of new members appointed by Governor Mark Gordon and confirmed by the Wyoming Senate. The newly appointed members are Reynolds J. Coast, Taylor Jacobs, Matthew Scott Crisp, and Joseph Gaspari.
The State Assembly is made up of 14 members including teachers, community members and businessmen and is responsible for setting education policy.
Members represent stakeholders and work in partnership with the state superintendent of public education and the Wyoming Department of Education to ensure that all students receive a quality education.
