Finance staff said recalibration meetings include legislators and that Tim Salazar, a state senator representing Fremont County, is co-chair of the recalibration committee. “He asked me what is the number 1 thing for Du Bois? ... the thing that I told them today is this funding cliff in the high school has to be resolved,” the staff member said. Staff described the potential shortfall as anywhere “from a 5 to a 7% it it could even be 8% of our budget that funding cliff can.”

Staff recounted that the district previously experienced an early hold-harmless action that reduced an obligation tied to the recalibration process; staff said legislation included a hold-harmless provision that prevented a full $325,000 payment in the past instance. The staff member said the district will pursue conversations with committee members and is preparing to present specific data at upcoming meetings to illustrate the fiscal impact on small districts like Du Bois.

Board members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the report; staff said they will bring any legislative or budget results back to the board as recalibration work continues.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fremont County School District #2 June 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District finance staff reported on recalibration meetings and warned that a state funding cliff could reduce the district's budget by an estimated 5–8% if not addressed; staff said they would meet with legislators to press for solutions.","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},6188327,"Fremont County SD#2 board approves bidding and designated-facilities policy updates; other policy changes set for July review",187,1179000,1366000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5063309-468fdd4361a9b30d8c4707ff78f7b3c4&start=1179&end=1366","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5063309-468fdd4361a9b30d8c4707ff78f7b3c4/thumbnail_1179000.jpg","/articles/6188327/Wyoming/Fremont-County-SD2-board-approves-bidding-and-designated-facilities-policy-updates-other-policy-changes-set-for-July-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188327-cc6e7dcf0ea8ea0e050d725cdb713d73/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174042&Signature=XKO16QqT33vRfJVUhegvbWdJ0tl4A7lj2Nfhov7Cj3njlhOiVTGYmI8ichuT-3RKPruRI1563haCI-6lUNoigCZGY-Jbsuw7mLbz~d-U4VVROm-V80pRwDoNVpVRmXFPAavvfv1q6-FuRc4XLbarmlG18WthmtOwaSPljNP3vT2o5ebQMese1joaZ1w-KRxifjOiX29ZN9H27tEXHAJ9BOmPKs57rYX-Yh7P8chHK3vIlNe78ADMy9UMIExVs2u6eBTMnVeOAXpwDLdQEZtCH5fRY4Fe54FyT~3R0FvGtrfMVdrwC4QDjMvhF-m2jChvIF13d7VuqAYK-q7Fv~tVfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fremont County School District No. 2 board approved two board policy updates and scheduled additional policy revisions for later consideration during its June meeting.

The board voted 6-0, with one absence, to approve updated bidding procedures (DJE) and a designated facilities policy (EJ) that reflects new state legislation on restroom and changing-room accommodations. “It covers everything from reasonable accommodations for, restrooms, changing rooms, sleeping quarters,” said Steve (staff member), summarizing the designated facilities policy's scope. Staff said the policy allows exceptions for emergencies or maintenance and requires that when a coach of the opposite sex is in a space with a student, an adult — not a student — must also be present.

Two other policies received first readings and will return in July. The exposure control plan (EBBA/R) — a bloodborne pathogen exposure control plan — was updated with significant changes after staff review; the staff member who worked on it will provide a redline to show revisions at the July meeting. The homeschool policy (IHBG) was revised to remove a statutory-era requirement that parents submit curriculum to the superintendent; staff said parents must still notify the district when they choose to homeschool, but the curricular-submission requirement is being removed following recent legislation.

The policy committee reviewed the recommended changes and the board will consider the exposure control plan and the homeschool policy at the July meeting after the committee finalizes redlines and staff input.","The board approved updates to the district's bidding procedures (DJE) and designated facilities policy (EJ) and set two other policy updates — a bloodborne pathogen exposure control plan and a homeschool policy change — for further review in July.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6188332,"Board approves 2025–26 budget and salary charts for Fremont County SD#2",0,1468000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5063309-468fdd4361a9b30d8c4707ff78f7b3c4&start=1468&end=1468","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5063309-468fdd4361a9b30d8c4707ff78f7b3c4/thumbnail_1468000.jpg","/articles/6188332/Wyoming/Board-approves-202526-budget-and-salary-charts-for-Fremont-County-SD2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188332-4f8980592a8b7b18d90974ba18529f4a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174042&Signature=ZH2WJymmc~8TIuvG5eaP0CN0LDgd16v~mT5hoM4o~xAdI5-oYJgnC6wIEqI6Jc5tDHYcPtr5Lv6dxoXls83v2EYfHKmmWCYU-EdMCYndSG5li1qxyTznJese4Xj01bALupjPeOzp22xBQWy7BFol5Gej6weqsenVx20Gvf8X~E~EJkdfGVLQiUY17FkyP7weZ27CWy~JcjZAWbHLr-AmM5t~~CLfhqpRu6PY9ZWrit1DeltT8e9geTs~DUnpazORE7eb1Nadfj-FnabWw5phgPmCBqzi8gdsO8iJB-5ISefnciuXo51DQrG1UjFKoHOn1W9~iFFKwgCQri19SXur8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fremont County School District No. 2 board approved the district's 2025–26 budget and salary charts at its June meeting, voting 6-0 with one member absent.

Board members moved and seconded the motion to adopt the budget and salary schedules. The board chair called for the vote and the measure passed with no recorded discussion or amendments.

In department-level reporting earlier in the meeting, district finance staff noted several line items that will require adjustments, including department 1421 (middle school student athletics), which is over budget and will be realigned in a budget amendment to be presented in July. Staff reported overall expenditures at roughly 92% of the year-to-date budget and said year-end closing work is underway. The staff also noted a final payment of $46,483 to a trustee related to a bankruptcy matter that closed that part of a project and that one warrant listed is connected to the generator project discussed elsewhere on the agenda.

The board recorded no further conditions on the budget vote at the meeting. Staff said they will present necessary budget amendments, including figures tied to the generator project, at the July meeting when final numbers are available.","The Fremont County School District No. 2 board approved the 2025–26 budget and associated salary charts as presented, recording a 6-0 vote with one absence.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6188337,"Fremont County SD#2 board approves tender agreement to finish school generator project",1149,437000,1586000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5063309-468fdd4361a9b30d8c4707ff78f7b3c4&start=437&end=1586","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5063309-468fdd4361a9b30d8c4707ff78f7b3c4/thumbnail_437000.jpg","/articles/6188337/Wyoming/Fremont-County-SD2-board-approves-tender-agreement-to-finish-school-generator-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188337-7bd84f18e219fd0e1f001894f43d63ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174042&Signature=Te11S5rujUnXcswArIkkyAtl0vnnSkviR4WLXIT~r~7UIuz9zU4H~-xbQ0FWye-LGbkFdjc6EcmUJrPB96oT3htCuu9qsAjAE6sK-6DWHZW75om04XiZb64aDx4p6QqkDQ5OpD8nzGU0FjSMUJM6kHW3zq5nIf4kdptxzNAYoJQUMRHHvLLmSNab-D8yEeX93mOE8ufjw35V3hsN0j5pmyiF4w8Aw0Qzmc6glMjnTVrBjqmwFJa4CP3SFg3Lb8XiBv9wWIvxGc5bF6cCRM1vyJYxqLu4dgfmdEmi8~zMksPk3mJcDnctpeTP78MzX858X8sLB~7KqSuPVVO4rsEEvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fremont County School District No. 2 board voted to approve a final tender agreement with the surety and the completion contractor for the district's generator project and authorized a district staff member to sign the document, the board said during its June meeting.

The agreement, described in the district's administrative report, is intended to allow Sage Electric Solutions, the completion contractor, to finish work on the generator once signatures are executed. “Once the signatures are made to this tender agreement between the parties involved, within 14 days, that work should be slated to begin,” said Steve (staff member). He added Sage Electric “is gonna be the contractor that's gonna come out, do the finished work.”

Board members amended the motion at the meeting to identify the district staff signer. The board approved a revised motion that specified Steve Sleagle as the signer; the measure passed 6-0 with one member absent. The board recorded no additional conditions on the motion at the time of the vote.

District staff said an insurance payment of about $13,400 will be issued to the district to cover overages between the original contract and the amount required to complete the project. Staff also warned that High Plains Power will need to cut power to the main K–12 building on a day to be scheduled so the new service can be connected; the district has not set that date because the agreement was unsigned until the board action.

Board discussion and staff remarks clarified next steps: once executed, signatures will be shared with district administrators for documentation and the completion contractor will schedule its work. No additional deadlines or effective dates for restoration of full service were provided at the meeting.

The board voted to enter executive session on personnel after completing action items; no further public details about implementation were given.","The Fremont County School District No. 2 board approved a final tender agreement with the surety and completion contractor and authorized a district staff member to sign, clearing the way for work to start on the generator project once signatures are exchanged.","actionData","errors"]
