1. DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING SF-104?
1. The Wyoming Constitution
Article 1, Section 1. Power inherent in the people.
All power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their
peace, safety and happiness; for the advancement of these ends they have at all times an inalienable and indefeasible
right to alter, reform or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.
? Does SF-104 violate Article 1, Section 1 by usurping your vote?
Article 7, Section 1. Legislature to provide for public schools.
The legislature shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a complete and uniform system of public
instruction, embracing free elementary schools of every needed kind and grade, a university with such technical and
professional departments as the public good may require and the means of the state allow, and such other institutions as
may be necessary.
? What is your definition of "provide" 7 (Merriam-Webster Dictionary: a : to supply or make available (something wanted or
needed) <provided new uniforms for the band>; also : afford <curtains provide privacy> b : to make something available to <provide the
children with free balloons>) Does provide equate to complete control?
? Is it the legislature's responsibility to provide for the establishment...of public instruction
OR is it the legislature's responsibility to establish...public instruction?
Article 7, Section 14. Supervision of schools entrusted to state superintendent of public instruction.
The general supervision of the public schools shall be entrusted to the state superintendent of public instruction, whose
powers and duties shall be prescribed by law.
What is your definition of "general supervision"? (Merriam-Webster Dictionary "general" includes: 1: involving, applicable to,
or affecting the whole' and "supervision" states: the action, process, or occupation of supervising; especially: a critical watching and
directing (as of activities or a course of action)
? The legislature may prescribe powers and duties of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SOPI), but, may
they transfer the offices' powers and duties to another? Would that require a constitutional amendment? And
at what point does the office of the SOPI become meaningless regarding general supervision of schools?
2. Proponents' Views
Nothing has been done differently to the SOPI than was done to the State Auditor, see Article 7, Section 14 above.
? Is there any such corresponding section in the Wyoming Constitution for State Auditor as there is for the SOPI?
The legislature has complete control over education:
? If the constitution's authors had desired the legislature to have complete control of education why would they
have established the elected office of the SOPI?
? Does the Washakie County School District No. 1 v Herschler case refer to funding or supervision of schools?
3. Final Thoughts
? Did the actions of the legislature make the presumption that Wyomingites are not capable of making informed
voting decisions?
? Are the people of Wyoming being punished because of personality conflicts in Cheyenne?
? Are your legislators representing you OR are they governing you?

2. From Jennifer:
The Constitution is our CONTRACT
> Article 1 Section 1
> (Our inalienable rights - the most important thing the framers wanted to say!)
> ALL POWER is INHERENT in the PEOPLE
> And ALL free governments are founded on THEIR AUTHORITY (and instituted for their peace, safety, and
happiness;)
> For the advancement of these ends they have at all times an INALIENABLE and INDEFEASIBLE RIGHT to
ALTER, REFORM, or ABOLISH the government in such a manner as THEY may think proper.
> (- a government of the people, by the people, and for the PEOPLE SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH)
> IN WYOMING
> THIS FUNDAMENTAL VALUE
> IS BEING TESTED.
> SF104 Represents a SIGNIFICANT change in govt structure -
> For example:
> Article I Section I
> -Power inherent in the People
> ***-SF104 TAKES YOUR VOTE AWAY
> -Leg can not take your vote away - only the people can alter govt
> Article 7 Section 14
> -Supervision of schools entrusted to the Superintendent of Public Instruction
> -The general supervision
> (Of the public schools shall be entrusted to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction)
> ....WHOSE powers and duties shall be prescribed by law.
> ***SF104 gives or transfers these duties by law to an appointed bureaucrat
> Legislature CAN ADD or REMOVE duties - but NOT GIVE or TRANSFER duties through LAW
> A TRANSFER requires a CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE
> -People expect that the Constitution requires THE PEOPLE EXERCISE THROUGH THEIR VOTE someone
who supervises public schools
> Article 2 Section 1
> - Separation of Powers (powers are to balance & check one another)
> "When the chief executive -the governor acquiesces or concedes to the legislature,
> ***he did not protect the executive branch.
> Governor has a constitutional duty to protect the executive branch. --- The governor asserts, " Education
is controlled by the Legislature."
> THE ARGUMENT RE: State Auditor, and, also Washakie case
> - Auditor was never given in our constitution "general supervision over auditing of the state." Not so
with the Superintendent ..."The general supervision"
> (Of the public schools shall be entrusted to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction)
> -The Washakie case focused on school funding. legislature to provide for school funding.
