| Abstract | Educators, legislatures and other policymakers, the courts system, and the public have struggled with questions regarding the equity and adequacy of providing education in the United States since the time of the nation’s founding. The evolution from concepts of equity in the financing of schools to the concept of adequacy has marked the last 20 years with many of these discussions taking place in state courts. The State of Wyoming, in its last round of litigation, had its system of funding public schools ruled unconstitutional in 1995. The Wyoming Legislature then worked for more than 12 years to make adjustments to its funding formula and to the level of funding in an effort to comply with the Wyoming Supreme Court’s directives to create a system that met its Constitutional obligations. Absent from most every discussion concerning adequacy ignores issues of technical efficiency within the public education system and whether legislative actions to adjust the funding mechanisms and funding levels change the technical efficiency of schools. The experience in Wyoming suggests that a significant amount of technical inefficiency exists across Wyoming’s public schools. The experience in Wyoming also suggests that legislative efforts to create an adequate school finance system did not have a systematic impact on improving mean statewide technical efficiency. |
