Throughout the school year, State legislators from Wyoming visit local classrooms to bring civics alive for students. Sponsored by the Wyoming Legislature and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), Wyoming’s Legislators Back to School Program is designed to teach young people – the nation’s future voters and leaders – what it’s like to be a state legislator: the processes, the pressures, and the debate, negotiation and compromise that are the very fabric of representative democracy. Legislators are urged to participate in this national event to tell the real story about representative democracy in America. Wyoming’s Legislators Back to School Program is a valuable opportunity for state legislators to answer NCSL’s call to promote civic education about representative democracy.
