What is NOT a source of the permanent school fund?

The permanent school fund in Wyoming is primarily sourced from specific revenue streams designed to provide a steady financial base for public education. The sale and lease of school lands contributes directly to this fund, as these activities generate income that is directed into the fund. Additionally, grants and gifts can enhance the financial resources available for education, thereby supporting the fund’s growth. Other educational resources can also contribute, depending on the nature of their funding.

Property taxes from residents, however, do not constitute a source of the permanent school fund. Instead, funding from property taxes typically goes into the general fund used for various local government expenditures, including education, but is not earmarked specifically for the permanent school fund. Understanding the distinct sources of the permanent school fund is crucial for grasping how educational financing operates in Wyoming.
