On January 28, 2014, the Wyoming Supreme Court in a three-to-two vote declared the law removing the duties of the superintendent of public instruction and placing them into the hands of an appointed director conflicts with the Wyoming State Constitution.
Written by Justice East. James Burke and supported by Michael K. Davis and Barton Voigt, the Supreme Court opinion said that while the legislature can legally adjust the powers of the superintendent, it cannot undermine the constitutional authority of the office itself in the general supervision of public schools. Governor Mead, meanwhile, through the appointed Attorney General Peter K. Michael, appealed for a rehearing.The court ruled Crandall"s director position as unconstitutional.
