Among personnel actions approved by voice vote, the board accepted resignations and thanked departing staff: Zane Marty (elementary teacher); Chad Ossinson (K–12 adaptive PE teacher); Marty Ossison (K–5 Title/math teacher); Erin Piezinski (K–12 literacy facilitator); Denise Anderson (food service director); Madison Holden (middle school special education paraprofessional); Christy Lewis (elementary special education paraprofessional); and Melissa Sisk (elementary special education teacher). The board also approved the appointment of James Phillips as lead custodian, effective June 13.

The board approved a recommendation to move the high school to a seven-period day beginning in the 2026–27 school year. Superintendent LaCroix said the change is intended to allow the district to share staff across middle and high school and to preserve programming despite small cohort sizes. LaCroix described a staggered reduction in the maximum number of credits a student can earn in the school day: next year’s seniors would still have a 28-credit maximum, with the cap decreasing by one credit for subsequent cohorts as the schedule transitions.

Trustees approved revisions to Policy IKF (graduation requirements) and added IKF–E (graduation credit requirements exhibit). District staff said the policy language was updated to match terminology in a draft of Chapter 31 (state graduation requirements), including replacing older terms such as “career vocational education” with the draft’s “career technical education,” and changing “foreign cultures and languages” to “world languages.” Staff also said the district will revisit policy language after Chapter 31 is finalized; the draft contemplates multiple measures of competency rather than a single equivalency exam and will affect how districts document graduation standards.

Other routine actions — including approval of the agenda and consent agenda items — were passed by the board by voice vote. Where motions were recorded, the minutes note voice approval rather than roll-call tallies.

No funding or program authorizations linked to these votes were detailed at the meeting; the board recorded no contested roll-call vote on these items during the session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees regular meeting.

Trocki Moynan outlined a timeline she said began in February 2023, with repeated complaints and meetings that she said produced “negligible change,” followed by another round of complaints to the board in February 2024. She said an independent investigation did not begin until August 2024, that the investigation was completed around September 2024, and that WEA members did not receive clear information about the report until early 2025. “The request that we have is twofold. Number 1, we would like a copy of the redacted investigation report. … And second of all … the district make a direct request for the committee that was mentioned in this report so that we can get something moving,” she told the board, taking care not to name individuals or confidential details in open session.

Board member Brad asked Trocki Moynan to put her request in writing. The board and WEA attorney, she said, had already exchanged correspondence with the district attorney, and she asked that the district make a direct request for the committee so members would receive information without filtering. Superintendent LaCroix told the board he could draft a direct written request if that would help. “If you would like me to write you a direct request, I can certainly do that,” LaCroix said.

Trocki Moynan also told the board she had refrained from naming specific allegations in open session and said multiple attorneys had been involved in the process. She asked that the board provide a redacted version of the investigator’s report — with identifying names removed — and that it follow through on the committee recommendation so the situation can be resolved for WEA members who raised the concerns.

Board members replied that the WEA attorney would put the request in writing and that the district’s attorney would receive that correspondence; LaCroix’s offer to draft a direct request was presented as an additional step to move the issue forward. No formal motion or vote was recorded on the request during the meeting.

The board did not discuss the contents of the underlying complaint or the investigation in open session during the remarks; Trocki Moynan repeatedly noted she was observing open-session rules by not naming people or confidential details.","At the March 31 board meeting, a Wyoming Education Association representative urged the Weston County School District No. 1 board to provide a redacted investigation report and to initiate the committee named in that report; board members asked for the request in writing and the superintendent offered to draft a direct request.","actionData","errors"]
