Kleeman reported that Simbly has the capability to migrate historical BoardDocs content and that other Wyoming districts have tested the platform with mixed reports. She said the district will evaluate references and prepare a proposal for trustees. \"Julie from Wyoming School Board Association... made us aware that Wyoming School Board Association was endorsing this company called Simbly... they will transition all of our current BoardDocs information, historical data... to Simbly,\" Kleeman said.

Superintendent Erickson and board members discussed timing and training needs; trustees flagged the need for staff training and the workload of migrating policy and minutes during an active policy audit cycle.

Inskeep said the district has completed the preliminary budget notice and will publish it (the district noted state statute requires public posting). He explained the timing around payroll cutoffs in May and how the June amended budget will reflect the final two pay periods for the fiscal year. \"When May comes around... you'll receive an [encumbrance report]... The next month I pulled up last year's it goes to 92%... when I come back and report... the June amended budget, you're going to see then only 2 pay periods left,\" Inskeep said.

He walked trustees through categorical changes tied to federal ESSER funds that are no longer available and how those expenditures will drop out of special revenue lines; he noted capital and maintenance reserves remain in place. Inskeep also explained a local-to-state tax recalibration mechanism: if local collections decline, the state funding component rises per legislation, and he said legislators set aside funds to backfill local reductions.

Inskeep flagged a recent national USDA recognition for the district’s food services and reiterated that district activity and school activity funds are audited and reported monthly. Board members asked about the recalibration timetable; Inskeep and Superintendent Matt Erickson said the recalibration evidence-review process occurs over the summer with results likely to appear in the 2026 legislative session. \"When will we know the results of recalibration? During the next legislative session, winter of 2026,\" Erickson said.

No new budget appropriations were adopted at the meeting; trustees received the update and were told to expect the June amended budget that reflects year-end payroll and adjustments.","Business manager JC Inskeep reviewed the district's preliminary budget schedule, effects of ESSER funding reductions on categorical spending, a national USDA recognition for food services, and the state recalibration timetable; the board was reminded the June amended budget will reflect final payroll postings.",{"_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},6042048,"District rolls out emergency alert app for staff; monthly drills included",718,2776000,3494000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699452-a36d1f73d96eeb32708982d777b9d5a6&start=2776&end=3494","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699452-a36d1f73d96eeb32708982d777b9d5a6/thumbnail_2776000.jpg","/articles/6042048/Wyoming/District-rolls-out-emergency-alert-app-for-staff-monthly-drills-included","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6042048-c27a831aba817c52076f401396cdad5f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171746&Signature=gx~yhlRoMhhRx4o-ierBb87IRIeNm9kVoCLTvAOH5A06dyE9cw4SH2jKIfq0~FrnOUd7CwKYexRbBswasQ77Uo-y2UwladnuPb9yYH~q1K9OKCnHgsGDPYEDWRnReWTJujhOMgxvnx2VHMkit24GzyY25XFa2UItunRN-OyUN0RKwGa-azJVA~w9z~owhDLyn8mUjtpxvplN1RXVJCkGBmJJjtcgJJ8-j6dEv894NeVglMTtglbmYnEvqe7TcieL86prBbFjg6WgseZ81c2CYpuwzu78YkPKOssSHZuDYmihYq4TKr~Qsz1EdL0r9v5n6ruFYtqT7iVkQd0WhdF5iQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nate Westcott, the district safety speaker, and other staff demonstrated a digital emergency alert and response platform to the Lincoln County School District No. 2 board that district leaders have begun rolling out to staff and testing during monthly drills.

Westcott described the tool as a \"digital emergency alert and response platform\" that allows any staff member to initiate an alert from a school-issued device or mobile phone, select a location and status (safe/unsafe/medical) and start an internal chat. The system displays room-level safety statuses on a live map for building administrators, the district office and first responders. \"The alert will notify administration both in the buildings, but also here at the district office. Our SRO gets all alerts. For a lockdown, it goes right to dispatch,\" Westcott said.

During the board demonstration Westcott showed a map where green indicates a room reporting safe, red indicates an unsafe location and blue indicates a request for medical assistance. He said the district practices the app in monthly drills and that during drills dispatch confirmed receipt of alerts. The app can also show law enforcement when rooms are cleared and provide staff rosters so dispatchers or officers can call specific staffers if needed.

Trustees asked who receives the app and the district said teachers, administrators and secretaries have been enrolled first; some schools are preparing devices or accounts for aides and substitutes. Bus drivers do not receive the app to avoid distraction while driving, but transportation staff have access. Westcott emphasized that staff should take immediate safety actions first (lock doors, lights out, shelter) and use the app after the immediate actions to avoid distraction.

No board action was required; the presentation served as an update on safety investments and the district said it will continue monthly practice and expand access as appropriate.","District officials demonstrated a duress/emergency alert platform that lets staff send live alerts, share room-level safety status, and coordinate with dispatch and law enforcement; the district is testing the system during monthly drills and has rolled it out to teachers, administrators and select staff.",{"_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},6042053,"Lincoln County SD2 pilots parent bus-tracking app; route-by-route rollout underway",208,3345000,3553000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699452-a36d1f73d96eeb32708982d777b9d5a6&start=3345&end=3553","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699452-a36d1f73d96eeb32708982d777b9d5a6/thumbnail_3345000.jpg","/articles/6042053/Wyoming/Lincoln-County-SD2-pilots-parent-bus-tracking-app-route-by-route-rollout-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6042053-1a20863d17f9045a2be1e43c737565fe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171746&Signature=lmkFfpEBjWk3Lfyfj6UdvcqMFsOGu~V0Bwgxw9I6JzrZep7jUDx38kwhqygVR2tylajSnlW1ejcAX3SBlfeD6GqzhQxiFf4xr5MXJl68rOXacluJf7C6uWDRJiwQvxhBrUM58weqX-~21OIPZPvVMLwp7YYv21gLIQx8BKbEotfYvSVt8I3xsucwLCyvuq~RQ1lzCa1~YELigKt87-EsvSUcIUGlfveXYyWvnIiwR4ITeBxWBqrwnGN80NSwHvhd0vQ5DRWCGGhLrO6Dx~7g0UzN3CtQsTxqW1UuQWikp2PPhKCgWQmufD3ZHvsyydMj2Q88O3xLzNi6Sq6gghQN~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Transportation Director Ty Lancaster and district staff told the Lincoln County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees that a mobile app for parents to track buses has been piloted and is being rolled out route by route.

Lancaster said the system integrates with Infinite Campus so only verified primary contacts can access a student's bus information. \"It is vetted through Infinite Campus, which is our student information system, so that only legal parent or guardians who are the primary contact in Infinite Campus can get access,\" Lancaster said.

District staff reported that about 15 of 36 routes had been invited to participate and that approximately 50 parents were actively using the app at the time of the report. Parents can set a notification radius and receive texts or push notifications when the bus is within that radius or when a student scans on or off the bus; the app also provides the bus's real-time location and the on/off scan location.

Lancaster described the communication tools as useful for emergencies and routine updates and said route notifications are typically sent by text to parents who opt in. He noted staff have prepared short instructional videos to help families download and configure the app. In one pilot example cited by Lancaster, staff were able to locate a student quickly after a parent reported a missing notification.

Board members asked whether other caregivers, such as grandparents or babysitters, can access the app. Lancaster said the primary Infinite Campus contact must set up the account and can then grant access to others; district staff can remove access if requested. Bus drivers themselves do not receive the app (to avoid distraction while driving), but transportation staff have access to manage routes.

There was no board vote; the report served as an operational update. Lancaster said the district plans to invite all parents to try the system by the end of the school year.","District transportation staff said they are rolling out a parent mobile app that shows bus locations and receives student scan notifications; pilot has covered 15 of 36 routes so far with about 50 parents using the app, and access is limited to vetted primary Infinite Campus contacts.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6042055,"Lincoln County SD2 to consider raising math, science credits for Star Valley High diploma",4677,1425000,6102000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3699452-a36d1f73d96eeb32708982d777b9d5a6&start=1425&end=6102","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3699452-a36d1f73d96eeb32708982d777b9d5a6/thumbnail_1425000.jpg","/articles/6042055/Wyoming/Lincoln-County-SD2-to-consider-raising-math-science-credits-for-Star-Valley-High-diploma","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6042055-8aab1487f49fff8a7168276bf51681bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171746&Signature=l0coYTUxdxvD3bY-q7ZYZOjxrOR9P8wxMxKEicWwDmReiGtzrCY7AT0dkT27dfVVZSRkaLNGausugNQIMXAm8aXm8ql-iP7PsjgLkLpZpN-ADvR6cEdX7TqzstuaWRjKthntqX4DcgSJ2-ZJ5aEio9VsbLcZZDHv6swz5FY-2bYlEsZN6SeTPKFlLgnHhqeNzcHgyjz2~YNxnhJ4fTnmc4e85-ZlRjT-~rhYD~ccjj3Fd3tL7v0UU~UsyYM~z5lfnQ8zuieyn7cGtO2F5WP1WNslLj1U5ZjgYTUICJSw7CCYNNNzKh0xZEwpsUlj15k-NsuFKvH4Cvruw2QZS67hjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Matt Erickson told the Lincoln County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees that administrators will present a proposed update to policy IKF (graduation requirements) for a first reading in June that would raise required credits in math and science at Star Valley High School from 3 to 4 and raise the total diploma credit requirement from 31 to 32.

The proposal, brought forward by high school staff, is intended to align Star Valley High diplomas with the highest Hathaway Success Program thresholds and to give students more options and preparedness for college and technical programs. \"What Mr. Hatterley and his team are proposing is that we increase math and science from 3 to 4 credits to graduate,\" Erickson said during the board discussion.

Board members and school staff discussed why the change is being proposed and how it would affect students heading to trade programs. Mr. Hatterley, who described his long involvement with vocational instruction, said freshmen already take math across three trimesters and many students need only one additional course in later years to meet the new requirement. \"Our freshmen coming in, we have them in a math class all three of those trimesters... and all they do need is 1 more class to get there,\" Hatterley said, noting many students complete 3.5 credits now and would need a single additional class to reach the Hathaway level.

Board members pressed for clear communication to families about what the change means in practice — emphasizing that the fourth math course should not necessarily be an advanced college algebra class and that trade-oriented math options (including trigonometry for some trade programs) could be acceptable. Member Long said parents worry about requiring extra coursework for students pursuing technical careers; other trustees and administrators said scholarship and dual-enrollment funding tied to Hathaway qualifications make the change beneficial for students who later choose college or community-college trade programs.

No formal vote was taken; the board characterized the item as informational and scheduled an anticipated first reading in June. Administrators said they will prepare details for the June meeting including how the change would be phased for current sophomores and how counselors will advise students choosing trade pathways.

The board also noted that the LCSD2 Foundation has recently added trade-specific scholarships, which administrators said supports students who pursue technical training after high school. \"We had 55 donors for more than $132,000 in scholarships this spring, and some donors specified vocational/trade scholarships,\" Superintendent Erickson said.

The board did not adopt any policy at the meeting; members asked administrators to return with implementation details and communication plans ahead of the scheduled first reading.

The board expects a formal first reading of the revised IKF policy at its June meeting, followed by any additional readings or action at subsequent meetings.","Superintendent and high school leaders recommended increasing math and science graduation credits from three to four and aligning the diploma with the Hathaway Success Program; board flagged communication needs for parents and trade-path students and expects a first reading in June.","actionData","errors"]
