What staff said: A presenter described the district's multi-tiered early intervention system covering academic, behavioral and social-emotional needs, noting screening, assessment, intervention cycles and monitoring. For early academics the presenter explained outreach before kindergarten (\"kindergarten roundup\") and screening that leads to placement in KinderBoost when indicated.

High-school interventions include schedulers and master schedules that allow tiered interventions, Friday \"prime time\" and \"flex\" sessions, credit recovery and work-based experiences. Counselors and social-emotional supports are provided with parent permission; the district also runs high-risk protocols that include QPR training and \"safe to tell\" reporting resources and, when necessary, out-of-district placements.

Activities and pathways: Presenters said student activities increase engagement and graduation likelihood, and reported both high schools had participation rates in the 70% range for activities. The district uses combination agreements with District 1 to provide opportunities (for example, a student who attended Burns played soccer at East High and later earned Division I recognition). Staff outlined concurrent enrollment offerings (dual-credit classes with LCCC / Laramie County Community College), CTE programs (autos, horticulture, cybersecurity pathways), internships and work-based study options that allow seniors to work part-time while earning credit. One presenter described students graduating with an associate degree prior to high-school diploma in past years through structured college-credit pathways.

Graduation requirements: Trustees discussed ongoing work on graduation requirements and the IKF policy; presenters reminded the board Hathaway scholarship tiers require four sciences for top tiers though district graduation requires three sciences. The district expects continued state-level discussion on graduation standards in the coming months and intends to align procedures with any state changes.

Next steps: Staff will continue refining district assessments, grading procedures and transition planning for students approaching graduation; board members asked staff to keep the board updated as state graduation requirements evolve.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 2025 LCSD #2 CPW Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","District staff outlined the multi-tiered early-intervention system and career/college pathways, including KinderBoost, RTI, Friday \"prime time\" and concurrent-enrollment options, and said activity participation sits around 70% at both high schools.","taxTitle","Laramie County School District #2, School Districts, Wyoming","taxId",67513,"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},6243786,"Board chair outlines new policy-review protocol to keep public discussion transparent",302,2460000,2762000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3237707-8ada4261771ad2f6d83b6831a16c9c8f&start=2460&end=2762","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3237707-8ada4261771ad2f6d83b6831a16c9c8f/thumbnail_2460000.jpg","/articles/6243786/Wyoming/Board-chair-outlines-new-policy-review-protocol-to-keep-public-discussion-transparent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6243786-1db1a6d07d0a35e6467983a8a08dcb68/orig.mp4?Expires=1770901444&Signature=EYKAmJ9Fv0ngKkQ3ERxZ~nW~bnxf~ebKVuyTBtvIF70cxi5hdg0lmTF8FQrtSX6V24svxp544lNpbwlVV1xbA3QBwTozuUWPqSUOW1eNpc54RHVyMiqGwLu~p-gCeGLw3bSB3HS1tnWbDKYHku3Pdm2CEtv5OGKXLCmcPlki0LSj95mZfSm05KHyKj15ixaxi3kYQ7XVIdfNN2pzMqr3iB98JTaFMCVgqx0Z8OK43tWezEnE8qnXtmQOuHBbyMixu78vuyOIRQOFz6TmwWWSMtNOG2Tk6g44kLtaQWrw8bZ4hf0qloBae0kBrnbuEoaTPcZN~WSbF~eA8X4E-oo0pQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board Chair Ramza presented a policy-procedure framework at the work session that aims to make the board's policy review process more predictable and transparent.

Key points: The chair asked that policies undergo committee and COW (committee of the whole) review with redline copies available in advance so trustees and the public can comment before a first reading. She suggested the board take straw polls at COW and avoid moving a policy to first reading until substantial issues are resolved. For statutory changes that must be adopted quickly, the chair said those may be suitable for first-reading passage.

The chair emphasized public comment steps: public comment should be available both at the first-reading public meeting and again at the second/final reading if material changes occur. She said amendments that materially change a policy should be presented as redline text and given another public reading before final adoption.

Board members recommended placing the chair's protocol in board governance documents so it is readily findable, and some members asked that a short attachment be included with COW agendas to remind trustees of the protocol.

Why it matters: Trustees said the change would reduce the number of islanded \"last-minute\" amendments at regular meetings and give the public better access to the actual text under discussion. Several trustees and staff agreed the procedure should be codified in board governance language rather than rely solely on a chair's preference.

Next steps: The chair's recommended protocol will be incorporated into board governance or meeting materials per trustees' direction and used for upcoming policy work this summer.","The board chair presented a recommended protocol for how policies should move from committee to public comment and final adoption, asking trustees to use committee and COW (committee of the whole) discussion to settle issues before first reading and to document amendments publicly.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6243792,"Board hears public concerns over staff leave 'blackout' language and bereavement wording",357,3343000,3700000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3237707-8ada4261771ad2f6d83b6831a16c9c8f&start=3343&end=3700","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3237707-8ada4261771ad2f6d83b6831a16c9c8f/thumbnail_3343000.jpg","/articles/6243792/Wyoming/Board-hears-public-concerns-over-staff-leave-blackout-language-and-bereavement-wording","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6243792-bd3964c5a7f5a6d0350008ef34c6b8a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770901444&Signature=FpqpSjrPzMrKRzFFnv7nOXZ1sMN6RPDovJoXRaVI0392OSA0WlOdf3miKKpSCABk~ngJgpQ4NipaXRUb9PR~OrTx9zSkTkHhp5iQjzkAk5G0fXDF5yji-J8KBWzEyIC9iDQ8lbgpmUA270GbnBQgPB6ehvMz3RZTADqxlyveQq75u3o2MaGt9j5h8f0oiMYIx395pyL6DEahieUkQpokbuRcgP-d953vuPcuJKxfTyWq4wHCtR6P0YrVgvA48hflwNzt66Qkn4JKS~vrlrEso~yxX91--2xrTRzLudwTMW1OPEI4FLgjuZJygYEhxDjQ79UsL3FVkeSxvq2KVawwVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees reviewed proposed revisions to GCC/GDC, the district's staff-leave policy, and several board members and public commenters raised concerns about so-called \"blackout\" dates and the policy's bereavement language.

Why it matters: Several emails and letters the board received objected to the policy's language that restricts paid leave during certain high-work periods. The board chair said most correspondence came from district employees and urged sensitivity to staff perspectives.

Discussion and changes proposed: Board counsel Justin presented an amendment that would remove the paragraph on blackout dates and restore current policy language that says paid leave \"will not be granted immediately prior to or after a vacation period unless approved by the building administrator.\" Multiple board members signaled support for tightening and clarifying the policy rather than keeping the stricter blackout phrasing. Trustee comments focused on clarity (is paid leave an \"earned\" benefit vs. discretionary), and on bereavement wording. One member asked whether bereavement leave for a miscarriage was included in the 12 days of paid leave or was an additional allowance.

On sensitive language, a board member noted concern with the policy phrase \"miscarriage of a fetus,\" saying it was unnecessarily clinical and could exclude early pregnancy loss terminology like \"embryo\". The board agreed to remove the specific word \"fetus\" and replace the phrase with \"miscarriage\" to be more inclusive and less technical.

Public comment and next steps: The chair acknowledged receiving many emails and several signed letters. She asked staff and counsel to incorporate the proposed language changes and to return a redline for board consideration at the next meeting. The item was not finalized at the work session.","Trustees reviewed proposed changes to GCC/GDC staff-leave policy, fielded public and member concerns about \"blackout\" vacation restrictions and the policy's reference to miscarriage wording; a board member proposed returning the policy's prior vacation-language and removing the explicit fetal terminology.",{"_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},6243797,"Board debates coach-staffing formula as cost and Title IX questions surface",1157,3010000,4167000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3237707-8ada4261771ad2f6d83b6831a16c9c8f&start=3010&end=4167","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3237707-8ada4261771ad2f6d83b6831a16c9c8f/thumbnail_3010000.jpg","/articles/6243797/Wyoming/Board-debates-coach-staffing-formula-as-cost-and-Title-IX-questions-surface","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6243797-0895787906b97af69f566bbafdb4670b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770901444&Signature=DgT0yBddSEOuUIsjbwGe-kQLDmQrKsBp3R0NOkXZuqN7IZE~ZYpKIy5Elz4BVBcvRSFbdDV1PTduzfFEsJCImHOmDw-jtcSkzEiAqnKZ1~A6J7UXuaPm-QvBemPoGKuz6x10Xy0th3KBJkkhSaquwmmSfckULFI-QLfQw9MT-H2f5apukdiMaI4JypMd1cTiL5wZ8AS6kHCnQRjOPYkBy90sMCDf8G8WCKFq~5O~NRNvvi2hdrIzggjMMZMfaqWI3Jbame3UbBnydxvp73dMNtNT8Th5RYCpRRhoMs5s037Yv0e37UNHeDQ0pZgQrcqbiQuWGHZbMubSw12Olk3DkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laramie County School District #2 Board of Trustees discussed proposed changes to IGDB, the district's staffing formula for coaches, at second reading on May 13, 2025, but took no final action.

Board members and staff spent the meeting outlining how different ratios and minimums would affect the district's budget and asking for legal and financial clarity before a vote. Business manager Misty said, \"If we did a 10 to 1 ratio, that's a $43,000 increase.\" She also said a policy that set a minimum of two coaches for every sport would cost about $50,000.

Why it matters: The draft IGDB policy would replace a patchwork of sport-specific \"asterisks\" and move to ratio-based staffing (for example, one coach per 12 athletes in the current draft). Board members pressing for changes said they wanted both to protect student safety and to ensure equitable opportunities, while others raised concerns about sustaining the expense in future years if participation fell.

Supporters of higher minimum staffing argued the move would protect participation and safety. Board member Michael said one possible approach was to \"hire two coaches for the sports that we have here and then we put and maintain a maximum 1 coach for every 12 and discuss that number.\" Other members, including Jared and Billy, asked staff for hard cost numbers before committing to a ratio change.

Misty presented district activity funding history and projections to inform the discussion. She reported current activities funding of about $825,000 for the year and said the district's average activities funding over the past 11 years was roughly $569,000 while average annual activities expenditures were about $617,000, noting the district has historically spent more on high-school-level activities than the base funding alone covers. She warned the legislature's pending recalibration of the state funding model could materially change how activities and CTE are funded.

Staff clarified small immediate cost impacts of prior policy work: Kendra noted the split of junior-high girls wrestling back into the junior-high program added about $6,500 in cost when implemented.

Public comment touched on policy details and cost. A parent, identified in the meeting as a resident commenter, asked why football and track would receive additional coaches on grounds of safety while other sports would be governed strictly by numeric thresholds.

No motion to adopt the IGDB policy was passed at the work session. Board members discussed proposed amendments to bring forward at the next regular meeting: options on the table included lowering the ratio to 10:1, keeping a 12:1 ratio but guaranteeing a minimum of two coaches per sport, or adding sport-specific cut points for reducing coaches when roster sizes fall. Board counsel's guidance about Title IX implications and the need for a mechanism to reduce coaches if participation falls were noted as part of the record.

Board direction: Staff was asked to supply more detailed cost estimates for the possible amendments and to provide the board with counsel guidance on Title IX compliance for coach staffing so the board can consider proposed amendments at the next public meeting.

The board said it expects the IGDB policy, with or without amendments, to return for formal consideration at the next regular meeting, where public comment and any amendment motions would occur.","At a work session, the Laramie County School District #2 Board reviewed a proposed IGDB staffing formula for coaches at second reading, discussed proposed amendments tied to coach-to-athlete ratios and minimum hires, and asked staff for clearer cost estimates and Title IX guidance; no final vote was taken.","actionData","errors"]
