Ariel and Xander explained their class reviewed other districts’ policies and offered draft language that would allow certain memorials only where the proposed location and style complement school grounds and the district’s educational mission. The students suggested installing benches without engraved plaques and using a simple blue heart symbol on bench backs to honor community members rather than full memorial plaques. \"As a class we would install the benches, but omit the memorial plaques and instead have a blue heart and greater back rest of each,\" Ariel said.

Board members thanked the students and discussed three possible paths: leave the current policy in place; send the students’ proposal to the policy committee for review and two public readings (the board would need two public reviews before taking final action); or ask the students to refine their proposal further. Trustees suggested adding the item to the February work session for initial discussion and reminded members that district policy revisions require two public readings before final action on a policy change.

No policy change was adopted at the meeting. Trustees indicated they may place the item on the policy committee agenda and then follow the usual two‑meeting review process if they choose to proceed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","FCSD2 Board Meeting 01/22/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Civics students recommended limiting visible memorial plaques and installing benches with symbolic markers; the board discussed options and could refer the policy to the policy committee for the required two public readings before action.","taxTitle","Fremont County School District # 2, School Districts, Wyoming","taxId",76118,"location","Wyoming","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6372767,"District staff present FastBridge screening results; board hears effects of moving winter testing to December",831,4663000,5494000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2146966-39b61f4d30b5769264562c47f4f3db7a&start=4663&end=5494","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2146966-39b61f4d30b5769264562c47f4f3db7a/thumbnail_4663000.jpg","/articles/6372767/Wyoming/District-staff-present-FastBridge-screening-results-board-hears-effects-of-moving-winter-testing-to-December","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6372767-8826a69c9461f2f7a535b6086b12f020/orig.mp4?Expires=1775321638&Signature=WhaWxUyRqJznDvLqWSwROr2OSvh2dc8W2Z-kF8wIlFs3ggWVtxzejVnANLmGfWjAooC~bb9hRdZbn3dKLtcxD6891jxjbpeHU9gMu5mYGBdVp8sfnGuKhqT0YejX~4SULq41ULlXvcH~A~EEgf289Eh1l6Zgia9pEkNeevXrMe~8iczBou6C5CRlxC77VZjp8e7IdwNWnQG1R1sTlKagiYTMJbl~5-4Iphe3QchbusXahBhq5Yhl16y6LM~u-tXkVGhrLzEmd2rJZz4InW~lGBQPRb6Ff~ad-7bZwAPjf02bb88jvZCdNPEXh9GjRntH5WViB-adBFtoOEz2cJ88Qw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff on Jan. 4 presented FastBridge screening results and a review of how the district uses fall/winter/spring universal screeners to guide intervention decisions.

David, a staff member presenting the FastBridge analysis, explained the December change: the district moved winter screening from January to December to avoid overtesting in January and to spread testing windows. He said staff compared student scores for individuals who were re‑tested and found modest differences depending on timing and grade. \"When we look at this comparison on these longitudinal reports, we're still not comparing apples with apples because the 4th graders of 1 year aren't the 4th graders of the previous year,\" David said, summarizing cohort‑analysis limits.

David described student‑level impacts after the winter screening and staff review: seven students were removed from intervention services, 14 students remained in intervention, and two students were added. He noted teacher recommendations and parental choices factor into placement decisions; parents may remove a child from Title services but cannot unilaterally add a child without evidence that the child meets screening criteria.

The presentation included notes on grade‑level patterns (for example, kindergarten and early grades where instruction timing affects early screening results) and a district estimate that roughly 25% of students in the screened grades receive some form of intervention services. Staff and trustees discussed other approved screening tools (MAP/NWEA, STAR, etc.) and the tradeoffs between measures. Trustees asked for cohort‑level trend reports across multiple years; staff said they can produce cohort reports and share them with the board.

No board action was taken; the item was informational. Staff signaled they will continue to refine screening timing and provide cohort trend analysis to the board on request.","District staff reviewed FastBridge screening data, explained why the district moved winter screening from January to December, and described how scores and teacher input inform intervention placements.

Melissa Harris said maintenance issues over the summer consumed instructional time. \"We had irrigation systems constantly, busting and heating repair,\" Harris said, describing more than 200 hours spent on maintenance instead of instruction. The presenters showed student sketches and a CNC‑cut acrylic panel concept intended to reduce rot and maintenance; the estimated cost for the acrylic front and materials on the prototype was roughly $600–$750, using many repurposed supplies the class already had.

The team said they plan to apply to a local \"op shop\" grant that offers up to $3,000; the application window opens in mid‑February and closes at the end of March, and funds — if awarded — would likely arrive in mid‑ to late‑April. The presenters emphasized a phased approach and student engagement across grade bands, including 5th graders who were involved in early review and feedback.

Trustees and staff offered practical suggestions, including a local soil source (\"307 Soil\" from Crowheart) and cautioned that full greenhouse renovation may require phased work to get irrigation, soil and structural elements addressed. No board action was taken; staff were asked to return with more detailed cost estimates for bed designs and exterior improvements.

Details extracted:
- Maintenance burden: presenters cited more than 200 hours of maintenance over a summer period.
- Prototype materials cost (estimate): about $600–$750 for the inside bed front and acrylic if new materials were purchased; presenters emphasized reuse of on‑hand materials to lower costs.
- Grant opportunity: local grant up to $3,000; application mid‑February through end of March; funds expected mid/late April if awarded.

The presentation stressed student learning outcomes (STEAM/STEM) and increased student engagement as motivating factors for the renovation plans.","Teachers Melissa Harris and Lydia Hoye presented students’ greenhouse redesign and outdoor classroom plans, reported maintenance burdens and proposed repurposed materials and grant funding of up to $3,000 to seed further work.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6372770,"Board approves agenda and consent items, including donation and bank‑signer update",122,63000,185000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2146966-39b61f4d30b5769264562c47f4f3db7a&start=63&end=185","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2146966-39b61f4d30b5769264562c47f4f3db7a/thumbnail_63000.jpg","/articles/6372770/Wyoming/Board-approves-agenda-and-consent-items-including-donation-and-banksigner-update","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6372770-8b3dfafd5fd0e9472fd33501e6fc4b61/orig.mp4?Expires=1775321638&Signature=Fg5SF4IdCtSBadqLBZk113OnaJpKVxjJdtojEszJdKp5Y2rNMZlVdqmhDbxmgnwBVU7SFc1bhDKUgHiZlsZd~7JbmGyYsxGeSoiqdG096QF9EM9K58LKDiu-M3cmRr8KBofD8Dq3POzqp6FtJ4I4Kqb7VCRVjQoHTtZWaYlqEJTgXSGoyvQvXWv4YCPCCSTz~wFU-wyjQArf4hO69YQy0SwuxtoZqEC~YQg96LlUB8757h5RToW3IojxLY5S2ZRsHMnZawlaYqMd9hENnosKnW3c0JBpOpFdw1qWv-SRN2A6n2RuD~ux3Bdt7Vl3TKauhy7v3oJofd4XDDa12BGqlg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fremont County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees on Jan. 4 approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda during the regular board meeting.

On the consent agenda, staff reported bills for payment and minutes for prior meetings, and noted a $300 donation intended to reduce negative student lunch account balances. Administrators also asked the board to approve a routine update to bank account signers to reflect recent leadership changes on the board; staff said the update is a formality necessary to take approved minutes to the bank. The consent agenda motion passed 7‑0.

The contract renewal — presented by Caleb, IT staff — follows repeated technical problems and equipment failures that the district’s single IT staffer has been managing. Caleb told trustees the district’s networking equipment is several years past typical replacement cycles and said the vendor would provide new switches, wireless access points and centralized backups as part of the service. \"We are actually 2 or 3 years beyond when most of that equipment should have been replaced,\" Caleb said.

Board members discussed alternatives, including local vendors and hiring additional staff, but concluded the managed service model offered more capacity than the district could provide in‑house. Trustees asked for protections in the agreement, including clearer termination or performance remedies if the vendor fails to deliver, and asked staff to review termination language before signing. The motion approved by the board included the phrase that the contract is approved \"pending contractual language review.\"

The board debated the contract’s cost and term; trustees and staff discussed three‑ and five‑year options and the tradeoff between short‑term flexibility and multi‑year cost savings. The transcript shows trustees considered that the five‑year option provides lower annual cost but that the district should seek an exit or \"for‑cause\" clause if performance falls short.

The vote on the motion to approve the five‑year renewal (pending contract review) was unanimous: 7 in favor, 0 opposed.

What this means: The district will move ahead with an external managed provider to replace core network gear and provide ongoing cybersecurity monitoring and incident response planning. Staff said the vendor will coordinate installations outside normal school hours and that the district will require clearer performance and exit clauses before final signature.

The board did not specify a contract number or an exact total in the meeting record; trustees directed staff to complete legal review and return any final contract language for administrative completion.","The Fremont County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees voted to renew managed IT, cybersecurity and network equipment services with k12 ITC (branded Albert), approving a multi‑year renewal pending final contract language review. The board discussed system age, cybersecurity and alternative options before the 7‑0 vote.","actionData","errors"]
