Additional Initial Training in Cheyenne
8:30 - 11:30 a.m. on January 15, 2020
We have seen a larger-than-expected number of registrants for the initial ALT-TA Trainings. These trainings are being provided by our assessment vendor, AIR, per the WDE contract, in three locations across the state. At this time, the WDE is not able to amend that contracted work and no additional funds are budgeted for additional staff travel for this training. However, WDE staff can provide an additional training in Cheyenne at no additional expense. The WDE has worked with Laramie County #1, to set up a training time and space that will be open to all who choose this location. There is a separate registration link for this WDE-provided training which is set for 8:30-11:30 a.m.on January 15, 2020 at the LCSD#1 Training Center, 2810 House Avenue, Room 306, in Cheyenne.
