duty military members; discrimination.

     (a) As used in this section, "active duty military" means
full-time duty status in the active uniformed services of the
United States. The term does not include members of the national
guard and reserve on active duty orders.

     (b) Once enrolled in a public school within the school
district, any pupil whose parent or guardian is an active duty
military member may transfer enrollment from one (1) public
school within the school district where the pupil resides to
another public school within the same district at any time,
except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section.
A transfer of enrollment under this subsection shall require
that the active duty military member provide proof of having
filed an official complaint with a military base equal
opportunity office describing discrimination against the pupil
seeking the transfer of enrollment.

     (c) A school district may decline to transfer a pupil
seeking a transfer under this section in a particular public
school within the district if the pupil seeking a transfer of
enrollment has been suspended or expelled or is in the process
of being suspended or expelled under W.S. 21-4-305 through 21-4-
306.

     (d) Not later than ten (10) days after a school district
declines to transfer a pupil seeking a transfer under subsection
(c) of this section, a school district shall report its denial
to the state superintendent of public instruction.

     (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require
a particular public school to offer additional programs, alter
the structure or equipment of the necessary facilities to meet
any special needs of a pupil, offer a particular program or
alter eligibility criteria for participation in a particular
program including age requirements, course prerequisites and
required levels of performance.

     (f) Any parent or guardian who is an active duty military
member aggrieved by a decision of the school district under
subsection (c) of this section, may seek review in accordance
with the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act. In accordance
with W.S. 16-3-112, the review of a decision of the school
district shall be before the state superintendent of public
instruction.
