Wyoming elected officials and community leaders will gather for a panel discussion this week in Laramie in celebration of National School Choice Week.

The discussion, “The Future of Education,” is to be held on Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 5 p.m. in the Phoenix Ballroom at the Laramie Plains Civic Center.
