Before LEHMAN, C.J., and THOMAS, MACY, and GOLDEN, JJ., and VOIGT, D.J.


LEHMAN, Chief Justice.

Appellants Campbell County School District and Lincoln County School District No. 1 (Campbell and Lincoln 1, or the Districts) claim they are entitled to a rebate of excess recapture monies they paid to the Department of Education. Because we conclude the district court erred in its interpretation of the recapture statute, Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 21-13-102 (Michie 1997), we reverse its denial of the Districts' claim for declaratory relief.
