Wyoming buys former Walmart site to house charter school

July 31, 2013
Snowy Range Academy had been leasing the building.

Despite the opposition of the state's superintendent of public instruction, the Wyoming Building Commission has voted to spend up to $4 million to buy a Laramie building as home for a charter school. The Casper Star-Tribune says the state would use the money to buy a facility to house the Snowy Range Academy. The charter school now leases the space, which formerly housed a Walmart store. State superintendent Cindy Hill objects to the purchase because a representative of Snowy Range Academy was allowed to attend an executive session of the building commission when the issue was discussed.
