21-2-405. Performance bond or other security; amount; exemption.

(a) Before any school is issued a license under this article and before any private degree granting post secondary education institution operates in this state under a registration issued under accreditation candidacy or application status or under notification pursuant to W.S. 21-2-402(f), it shall submit to the department of education a performance bond or other form of security prescribed by rule and regulation of the department. The bond or other form of security shall be in an amount specified by department rule and regulation subject to limitations prescribed by this subsection. The bond for private schools and for private degree granting post secondary education institutions applying for registration under accreditation candidacy or application status pursuant to W.S. 21-2-402(b) or notifying the department under W.S. 21-2-402(f), except those schools excluded under subsection (b) of this section and accredited private degree granting post secondary education institutions registered under this article, shall be not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). The bonds or other form of security shall be approved by the attorney general and shall be renewed annually as long as the school retains its license to do business in Wyoming or until the institution receives accreditation. The performance bond or other form of security is to assure protection of all persons enrolled in a course of study who may be aggrieved by any school doing business or operating in the state. The department of education is custodian of all bonds and other securities filed under this section and may render administrative but not legal assistance to all aggrieved persons who may be entitled to relief under the bond.

(b) This section shall not apply to private elementary or secondary schools described under W.S. 21-2-401(a) and otherwise subject to this article.
