(a) This chapter is promulgated pursuant to W.S. 21-15-114(a)(xiv) (general rulemaking authority); W.S. W.S. 21-15-120(a), which requires the commission to adopt rules and regulations for procedures to determine when an emergency exists with respect to the adequacy of the school buildings and facilities of any school district such that the ability of the district to provide educational programs required by law is immediately and substantially impacted and no reasonable alternative exists to address it other than emergency funding under W.S. W.S. 21-15-120; and W.S. W.S. 21-15-120(b).
(b) The commission recognizes that not all school building and facility improvement needs have the same level of importance. This chapter establishes a process to identify and prioritize the relative importance of each school building and facility improvement need on a statewide basis.
