What does the Wyoming rule require?
The School Facilities Commission's rule says school buildings "shall have" these access control features: a single point of entry for visitors, a secured vestibule, main entry control systems and a visitor management system. Buildings shall also have locks on the inside of classroom doors, exterior door locks and door keying systems. The rule requires a secure site perimeter meant to discourage unauthorized access to the campus. It requires video surveillance with recording at the main entry and other building entrances.
What about doors and lockdown?
The rule requires classroom doors made of durable material. It requires the ability to lock down all classrooms, main entrances, the library and the gymnasium.
Who is covered?
The standards are uniform statewide standards for the adequacy of public school buildings and facilities. State law directs the commission to set those standards by rule. Separately, an adult registered sex offender may not be on school premises when they have reason to believe children are present for a school activity, unless, among other listed exceptions, they have written permission from the principal, vice-principal or someone with equal authority.
When did it take effect?
The current version of the rule has been in effect since May 9, 2024.
How can schools pay for it?
In 2026, HB0105 appropriated $10,000,000 to the School Facilities Commission for designing security vestibules and vehicle barricades and for approved school district safety and security fixes. The commission must set a prioritized list of those fixes using national and regional best practices, and districts apply to the State Construction Department for the money, subject to commission approval. The Governor signed HB0105 as House Enrolled Act No. 10, and it became Chapter 39 of the 2026 session laws.
How can QuickSecure help?
Visitors sign themselves in at an iPad kiosk in your front office by scanning their driver's license or state ID.
Each visitor gets a printed badge, and checks out by scanning the badge's code on the way out.
Visitors are checked against the sex-offender registry and your school's own block list before they're let in.
When a visitor needs a second look, front-office staff get an alert and approve or deny entry from their phones.
Only guardians and contacts your school has authorized can pick up a student. A one-time exception needs an administrator's approval, and it's logged.
Every visit is kept in a log your administrators can search.
