Picus Odden & Associates, in partnership with Augenblick, Palaich and Associates, Inc. (APA Consulting) and Activate Research are working with the Wyoming Legislative Service Office and the Wyoming Legislature’s Select Committee on Recalibration.  Our team brings together decades of experience in conducing school finance adequacy studies and has led four previous recalibration efforts since 2005.  Using the Evidence-Based Model of school finance adequacy, our model reviews research on programs that are successful in helping all students succeed in meeting state performance standards.  In Wyoming we have used this approach to estimate the cost of providing the Educational Basket of Goods and Services.

A working draft of the 2025 Evidence-Based Model, developed by Picus Odden & Associates, with contributions from APA Consulting and Activate Research, is now publicly available on the 2025 Select Committee on School Finance Recalibration page under “Details” for the 10/28/2025 - 10/29/2025 meetings.
