Fiona Perry presented the amendment and walked trustees through the format showing the original approved budget, debits and credits and the as-amended final numbers. Perry said, “So it's for 07/01/2024 through 06/30/2025,” and explained that the general fund contains salaries, benefits and fixed costs while special revenue adjustments largely reflect grant changes. She also said food service and Head Start are included in the document.

Perry told trustees the district uses historical costs, projections and judgment to estimate budgets and that end-of-year adjustments are common. She said the prelim budget for fiscal year 2026 will be modified and brought back for final approval at the July board meeting. Trustees did not record a formal vote to adopt the FY25 amendments during the public hearing portion recorded in the transcript; the presentation was followed by questions and later by closing the public hearing and reconvening the meeting.

The presentation identified four major sections: general fund (operations and staffing), special revenue (grants listed individually), enterprise funds (food service) and Head Start. Perry invited trustees to ask questions and said more detailed, line-item adjustments were available on the board materials.","Finance staff presented the FY25 budget resolution to amend the district's current fiscal-year budget (July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025), describing adjustments in the general fund, special revenues (grants), enterprise funds and Head Start.",{"_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},6187935,"District outlines plan to move freshmen to satellite ninth-grade center to ease transition",3684,1076000,4760000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064212-561be2f957a870fe30a47bc891db0573&start=1076&end=4760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064212-561be2f957a870fe30a47bc891db0573/thumbnail_1076000.jpg","/articles/6187935/Wyoming/District-outlines-plan-to-move-freshmen-to-satellite-ninth-grade-center-to-ease-transition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6187935-f926fa65b01474c44575f4c1a5eea0f1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770439874&Signature=GDhaliglTJ9qEukILbqlvuXPb7W8uhhkeNxrZB6~1PuRCFR5WpzEetthvQieBgphqGibZF-3B~MfJRX85afsw~8XEubHolOJusMKyBuAlxZhaDDS1ULQ0hh~SHsVlT8W0bAn0w9mGfFhlzoRaei82iRzYNjrG0sik-TQuChVrAFLjSQL1-L4rbhSn2y0QHK5~WRfpyPiy6VhxuSwGDjrL7ojpxWmCcLVs2fE8r89U3PqLJKBng5FWrR6HP3A5jCj7P1ayqBS1SObYg3XEbed6Pm1T0vlS4X2NnPNGq~EZUL53raaS-I6b~t1aGqU1j4PEqCH2lZ9kZtMCU2AT6R2yA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sweetwater County School District #1 Board of Trustees discussed plans to move ninth-grade core instruction to a satellite ninth-grade center next school year, with the goal of improving academic outcomes and easing the middle-to-high-school transition.

Trustee Schumacher described the plan and her support, saying the change is aimed at reducing ninth-grade failure and dropout risk: “It's my understanding that the freshman class is gonna be taken out of the high school for their core classes. It's gonna be split into 2.” Superintendent Libby and other trustees described operational steps, including transportation planning and phased moves while the district addresses building capacity.

The board said the satellite arrangement will centralize ninth graders “in 1 location” for core instruction, limit open-campus movement for freshmen and create smaller learning communities. Superintendent Libby noted a current space constraint at the satellite school and said moving some academies back to the high school is intended to allow broader access to those programs.

Board members and staff discussed transportation logistics. The district plans to use the high school and other sites as hubs so students can be routed either to the high school or to the ninth-grade center, depending on schedules and athletics. Superintendent Libby described multiple hub locations and a plan to coordinate addresses, course schedules and athletic commitments to reduce unnecessary travel.

Public comment at the meeting connected the policy to student mental health. Dina Fulmer, speaking as a parent, urged attention to mental-health supports and prevention, noting the “mental health matters” and describing personal experience supporting a child through crises.

Trustees emphasized the plan is intended to provide smaller, more stable teams of teachers for ninth graders so students have consistent contacts during the transition year. They said counselors and administrators will be assigned to the satellite site and that the district will monitor unintended consequences, with the option to adjust assignments and transportation as needed.

No formal vote on the structural plan was recorded at the meeting; trustees characterized the move as an ongoing implementation that will continue through summer planning and return to the board with details as they are finalized.","Trustees and the superintendent described a plan to separate ninth graders for core instruction at a satellite site to reduce transition failures, improve support and reduce open-campus movement; transportation hubs and capacity limits were discussed.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":80,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6187940,"School board approves concealed-carry policy after public debate",3547,2450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064212-561be2f957a870fe30a47bc891db0573&start=2450&end=5997","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064212-561be2f957a870fe30a47bc891db0573/thumbnail_2450000.jpg","/articles/6187940/Wyoming/School-board-approves-concealed-carry-policy-after-public-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6187940-4806b1e614290d979411765ebe7a023d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770439874&Signature=PzqHmyufqFtYNJt-ftQAYcEq970xEoDyA2QdUhj7Mn6EFfFm~~lxD1CGWpD4L9eS6eqMPFe8x4TInllvgf2a2eNIymSsJ0yCzFevIrHjeqampm4skIIysyyn20kqrZQA6WfZ9r-GhjRUsDNAsq8xXvLuqIwIaTBtjgB-q8e-HjKKeCXMAb8nsGR3S6V0OFjNZVFngQCraon9rcZUtFOxTUbIzUcntEW2-YLuFjMZeTVXF4ute08nRNHV5vgh7H9CKV0mJZBbadUygaTPZl8yVD968BLrWDYnbjrMEDKddFYIP1f~WW9RsjxFzA~VenQ4w2ym9zP1ej4HobAwtHbqkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sweetwater County School District #1 Board of Trustees voted to adopt Policy CKA, a district firearms policy that permits concealed carry by staff under specified conditions, after public comment and extended discussion at the board meeting.

The measure matters because it changes how staff access and secure firearms on school property and sets local expectations for training and storage while the state provides the statutory framework. Proponents said trained staff can improve school safety; opponents and questioners raised concerns about definitions, enforcement and volatile materials in certain school facilities.

Board discussion and public comment focused on three practical areas: training requirements, secure storage, and how to identify and respond when a weapon becomes visible. Superintendent Libby said the district’s legal counsel and the Wyoming School Boards Association reviewed the policy and “has read and approved of the policy the way it it's presented today.” Trustee Sorensen and other board members said the policy can be modified later as clarifications from the state and legal counsel arrive.

Public commenters emphasized both safety and caution. Bill Formanek asked detailed legal and implementation questions, including whether the district legal counsel had analyzed the statute; he told the board, “I want our kids, our staff, to be safe.” Laura McKee, a parent and teacher, spoke in support of staff who would choose to carry, arguing they would seek training and protect students: “Their job is such a hard job, and they are dedicated.”

On specifics, the board discussed reimbursable training and equipment. Trustees said the district intends to offer training through the Rock Springs Police Department and that, if the district purchases biometric lockboxes for firearms, the district would provide and maintain them and seek state reimbursement where available. Superintendent Libby clarified the district will treat “concealed” strictly: “Concealed is concealed. That's what it means.” He and other trustees said incidents in which a weapon becomes visible would become human-resources matters subject to investigation and a range of possible disciplinary steps rather than an automatic termination.

The board took a formal vote after discussion; the motion to adopt Policy CKA passed.

Board members and staff said they expect to revisit and refine the policy as state guidance and local implementation details become clearer. Chair Wright encouraged community members to continue raising questions and suggested the policy committee and board could update the policy if further clarification from the state or legal counsel is provided.

The vote follows extensive public comment submitted in writing and in person and sets a local implementation path within the constraints of state law.","The Sweetwater County School District #1 Board of Trustees approved Policy CKA, a concealed-carry policy for staff, after public comment and extended board discussion about training, lockboxes and enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
