This article is intended for parents with questions regarding the Wyoming ESA Program
Once enrolled in the Wyoming ESA program, parents must renew their participation each year to continue receiving benefits. The renewal process is simple and ensures that your child remains eligible for ESA funding.
Renewal Notification
The WDE will notify parents of the renewal period before the start of each new school year. You will receive a renewal contract, which must be signed and submitted by the deadline to maintain your child’s ESA eligibility.
Verification of Eligibility
The renewal process will include verifying that your child continues to meet the eligibility requirements for the program. This includes confirming residency, income threshold, and educational status.
Consequences of Missing Renewal Deadlines
If you do not submit the annual renewal contract by the deadline, the student may lose access to ESA funds.
Rolling Over Unused Funds
Any unused funds in an ESA student’s account shall remain in the account the following school year until the ESA student is no longer eligible or the account is closed.
