Which branch oversees public education with constitutional responsibility in Wyoming?

• A. The Governor.
• B. The Supreme Court.
• C. The Legislature oversees public education with constitutional responsibility.
• D. Local school boards.

Answer: (C)

In Wyoming, the responsibility to provide and support a system of free public schools is vested in the Legislature. This means the legislative branch is the body that writes the laws, sets statewide education policy, and allocates funding to public education. The Governor carries out these laws as part of the executive branch, but the constitutional duty to oversee public education lies with the Legislature. The Supreme Court handles legal questions and disputes about education laws, not ongoing oversight of day-to-day education, and local school boards run schools within districts under state law rather than holding the constitutional responsibility for education at the state level.
