Both Wyoming state law and Wyoming state board of education policy have made provisions for local boards of education to reimburse parents  of public school students living in rural areas for certain transportation and relocation costs. 

Student(s) residing three (3) or miles one-way from a school or bus route shall be eligible for  transportation reimbursement. If the resident of the student(s) is at least three (3) miles from a  school or bus route, mileage will be calculated starting from two miles from their residence while  being transported to the nearest bus stop and two miles from the bus stop while being transported  home. For parents who find it necessary to relocate during the school year in order for their  children to attend school, Albany County School District One will pay part of the expense of their  relocation. 

State law requires that parent’s sign a statement certifying that the “ability to earn a substantial  portion of (their) family income is directly related to and enhanced by the family residing in the  isolated location “in order to be eligible for reimbursement for transportation or maintenance  expenses. 

An application for reimbursement of transportation costs or maintenance costs for students living in  isolated rural areas must be filed each year. Parents of students qualifying for reimbursement of  costs must complete a form, “Application for Transportation or Maintenance of Isolated Pupils”,  and return it to the Albany County School District One Administration Office no later than  Tuesday, September 6th for approval in September by the Board of Education. 

Applications and additional information about this can be obtained by emailing the business office  at acctpay@acsd1.org or by calling Donella Romero at 307-721-4400.
