PUBLIC NOTICE

Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Rules, the Commission hereby gives notice of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) for authority to implement a five-year commercial and industrial Demand Response Pilot Program and Recovery Mechanism, as more fully described below.

  1. RMP is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation, engaged in the business of supplying electric utility service to customers throughout its six-state service territory, including Wyoming. RMP is a public utility subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. Wyo. Stat. §§ 37-l-101(a)(vi)(C) and 37-2-112.
  2. On July 8, 2024, RMP filed its Application requesting approval of a new Schedule 114 with the addition of the voluntary Commercial and Industrial Demand Response (C&I DR) Pilot Program, effective for the five-year period of May 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029. The Company proposes a $5.8 million (0.8% of base revenue) increase to Schedule 91 through a new 0.69% surcharge rate for Demand Response. The Company also proposed to add a Customer Efficiency Service Charge to the Schedule 191 balancing account to recover costs associated with the new C&I DR program, which are estimated at $20,088,750. RMP further proposes eliminating Schedule 30, the Interruptible Service Pilot Program due to lack of participation.
  3. Per the Application, the initial C&I DR Pilot Program is intended to provide financial incentives to large commercial and industrial customers with curtailable or reduceable loads greater than 500 kilowatts under Category 3. The program may be utilized to provide peak load reduction, contingency reserves, frequency response, and other services to assist with managing the electric grid, and requires customer curtailment and real time response with limited to no advance notice to Company initiated events. Participating customers will receive annual compensation based on verifiable dispatchable loads adjusted by capacity factor and event participation percentage.
  4. This is not a complete description of the Application. The complete Application is available at the Commission’s offices or online at https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx (Enter Record No. 17625), or RMP’s website at www.pacificorp.com.
  5. Anyone desiring to file a statement, intervention petition, protest, or request for a hearing must do so in writing, on or before August 16, 2024. Public comments should be submitted to wpsc_comments@wyo.gov. Any intervention request filed with the Commission shall set forth the grounds of the proposed intervention or request for hearing as well as the position and the interest of the petitioner in this proceeding. Please be sure to mention Docket No. 20000-670-ET-24 in all correspondence with the Commission.
  6. If you wish to participate in this matter and you require reasonable accommodation for a disability, please contact the Commission at (307) 777-7427, or 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002.

NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER FERPA FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 year of age (“eligible students”) certain rights with respect to the student’s education records. These rights are:

  1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the School receives a request for access.

Parents or eligible students should submit to the school principal (or appropriate school official) a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The School official will make arrangement for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

  1. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate.

Parents or eligible students may ask the school to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate. They should write the School principal (or appropriate school official), clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate. If the School decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the School will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

  1. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interest. A school official is a person employed by the School as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the School Board; a person or company with whom the School has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Also, upon request, the School discloses education record without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

  1. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the School District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA are:

Family Policy Compliance Office

U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20202-5920

  1. The right to request information regarding the qualifications of your child’s teacher.

NOTICE OF PARENTAL RIGHTS – WYOMING STATUTE § 21-3-135 (IKAE)

The Board of Trustees of Uinta County School District Number One (the “District”) recognizes the right of parents to make decisions regarding the care and control of their children. This policy strives to outline the rights of parents related to notification and records of their students, including those rights described in Wyoming Statute § 21-3-135. Parents and guardians will be notified annually of their right to file a complaint if they believe their rights as described in this policy have been violated. The procedures for filing a complaint related to the rights in this policy are described under policy BEE-R, Rules of Practice Governing Hearings and Contested Cases Before the Board of Uinta County School District Number One.

  1. Definitions: As used in this policy the terms shall have the following definitions.

Actual knowledge: means notice of a change (as defined in this policy) to any District employee. A District employee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge if: a) a person reports a purported change in a student’s health or well-being to a District employee, and the purported change is verified by a District employee with authority to investigate or determine whether the change has occurred; or b) a District employee directly observes the purported change, and a reasonably observant person would notice the purported change.

As soon as practicable: Except in cases of suspected child abuse or neglect, “as soon as practicable” shall mean as soon as reasonably capable of being accomplished given the normal constraints involved with such an action and without undue delay. Unless otherwise specified by this policy, “as soon as practicable” shall mean not more than forty-eight (48) hours or not more than two (2) business days after the purported change is verified or observed by a District employee, whichever is greater. For any change in a student’s health or welfare where a District employee reasonably believes the change is the result of suspected abuse or neglect of the student which will result in a report to law enforcement or DFS, the phrase “as soon as practicable” shall mean after the District reports the suspected abuse to law enforcement or DFS as required by Wyoming Statute § 14-3-205, and after either law enforcement or DFS authorizes the District to notify the parents.

Change: a student’s change in educational, physical, mental, or emotional health or well-being is any change that meets one or more of the following criteria:

  1. It poses a risk or threat to the student’s safety, health, or welfare, or to the safety, health, or welfare of others.
  2. It is a mental health or medical condition that necessitates intervention or treatment at school or follow-up with a community mental health worker, therapist, or medical provider.
  3. It requires a modification of the student’s educational program, services, or support, or the provision of additional or specialized services or supports, such as special education, counseling, health care, or social work.
  4. It affects the student’s access, eligibility, participation, or performance in the District’s education program, or academic, extracurricular, or co-curricular activities, or in assessments or evaluations.
  5. It involves a disciplinary action, sanction, or consequence for the student, such as detention, suspension (in-school and out-of-school), expulsion, or referral to law enforcement.
  6. It results from a complaint, allegation, or investigation involving the student, such as bullying, harassment, discrimination, or violation of rights.

Business Day: shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

Gender Identity: shall mean an individual’s personal sense of their own gender.

Health Screening Tool: shall mean any diagnostic assessment that detects pre-clinical mental or physiological illness or disease.

Instruction: means the action, practice or profession of teaching and includes planned teaching addressing gender identity or sexual orientation. The following shall not be included in “instruction”:

  1. Responding to a question from a student during class regarding sexual orientation or gender identity as it relates to any topic of instruction; or
  2. Referring to the sexual orientation or gender identity of any public figure, historic person or group, or fictional character where the referral provides necessary context in relation to a topic of instruction.
  3. Student-generated schoolwork.
  4. Student-to-student speech.
  5. Classroom references to a person’s family.
  6. Library books.
  7. Extra-curricular, co-curricular or student clubs.
  8. Dual enrollment courses taken at or from a college.

Parent: includes parents, legal guardians, and legal custodians of students who are under eighteen (18) years old and who have not been emancipated.

Sexual Orientation: refers to an individual’s enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attraction to others.

Well-Being Questionnaire: Means an instrument used to assess an individual’s overall well- being across various domains of life. It typically consists of a series of questions designed to measure different aspects of well-being, such as physical health, mental health, social relationships, emotional well-being, and life satisfaction. These questionnaires may use a variety of questions to gather information about an individual’s experiences, feelings, and perceptions related to their well-being. Well-being questionnaires do not include informal building-created processes, or “quick checks” used to assess classroom or school climate.

  1. Discussions Related to Student Well-Being

When issues of a student’s well-being arise, District personnel shall encourage the student to discuss the issues with their parents. As appropriate, District personnel may facilitate discussions of such issues with parents. In accordance with the Wyoming Statute § 21-3-135 (a)(iv) the District shall not adopt nor implement any formal or informal rule, policies, practices, or procedures that direct, encourage, or have the effect of encouraging, a student to withhold from a parent information about the student’s educational, physical, mental, or emotional health or

well-being.

III.  Parental Notification of Changes in Student’s Health or Well-Being

Any District employee who has actual knowledge of a change in a student’s educational, physical, mental, or emotional health or well-being shall report the change to the school principal or designee. The principal or designee shall determine who will notify the parent of the student. The District shall notify a student’s parent or guardian as soon as practicable if a District employee has actual notice of a change in the student’s educational, physical, mental, or emotional health or well-being. The Building Administrator shall document the notification.

The Superintendent may adopt administrative regulations, procedures and criteria which further clarify or define whether a reported change constitutes a change in a student’s health under this policy.

Notification may be made via phone, personal/face-to-face conversation, District messaging system, text, or email or other methods approved by the Superintendent or principal.

In accordance with Wyoming Statute § 21-3-135(a)(iii), the District shall not adopt or implement any formal or informal rules, policies, practices, or procedures that prohibit School District personnel from notifying a student’s parent about the student’s educational, physical, mental, or emotional health or well-being or a change in the student’s related services as authorized under statute.

If a parent asks a District employee about the health or well-being of the parent’s child, the District employee shall not misrepresent or provide false information about the parent’s child.

Nothing in this policy shall be construed to delay, modify, or alter the obligation to report suspected abuse or neglect of a child to the Department of Family Services (DFS) or law enforcement pursuant to Wyoming Statute § 14-3-205. If a District employee reasonably believes the change is the result of suspected abuse or neglect of the student which will result in a report to law enforcement or DFS, the phrase “as soon as practicable” shall mean after the District reports the suspected abuse to law enforcement or DFS as required by Wyoming Statute

  • 14-3-205, and after either law enforcement or DFS authorizes the District to notify the parents.
  1. Parental Notification to Participate in Instruction

To ensure transparency and respect for parental rights when providing instruction on sensitive topics, the District will notify parents at least two (2) business days prior to any planned instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity. Notification methods may include course syllabi, letters, emails, or other announcements through official channels. Parents will receive an overview of the content covered in the training, course, or class including objectives, materials, and planned discussions related to sexual orientation or gender identity. The overview will emphasize the educational purpose and sensitivity of the topic.

District staff will obtain written or electronic parental consent at least one (1) business day prior to any courses, training, or classes that address sexual orientation or gender identity.

Schools will provide alternative educational activities for students whose parents do not provide consent to the instruction of the subjects described in this section. These alternatives should align with the overall learning objectives of the instruction and ensure that students do not miss essential learning opportunities.

  1. Parent Notification of Routine Health Care Services

In accordance with Wyoming Statute § 21-3-135(b), at the beginning of each school year, the District shall provide parents with notice of each routine health care service provided by the District, and the means for parents to withhold consent or decline any specific services. Consent to a routine health service does not waive the parent’s right to access the education or health care records, or to be notified of a change in the student’s educational, physical, mental, or emotional health or well-being. Routine health care services do not include the rendering of first aid or summoning of emergency responders in the case of sudden need.

  1. Student Well-Being Questionnaires and Health Screening Tools

In accordance with Wyoming Statute § 21-3-135(c), prior to administering any well-being questionnaire or health screening tool to students, the District shall make available a copy of the questionnaire or information on the health screening tool and obtain written, electronic, or verbal consent from the parent. Health screening tools that do not require parental permission include those health assessments required by federal law including audiology, vision, scoliosis, and body mass index tests. If a parent does not want their child to participate in these required assessments, the parent must specifically notify their child’s school in writing prior to the health screening.

VII.  Student Records

In accordance with Wyoming Statute § 21-3-135(a)(ii), the District shall not prohibit parents from accessing any of their student’s records created, maintained, or used by the District. Parents shall be provided access to their student’s education, behavior, health, and other records according to Policy JO. Adopted: June 11, 2024

PARENTAL RIGHTS COMPLAINT PROCEDURE IKAE-R

If a parent or guardian believes school district staff violated following Policy IKAE with respect to their own student, the parent may file a written complaint with the Superintendent within fourteen (14) calendar days of the alleged violation. The complaint must include: 1) The name and contact information of the parent and the name of the student, 2) The date and a detailed description of the violation, and 3) All relevant documentation.
