Board approves calendars, capital projects and other items; commodity-processing bid tabled
Summary
Lincoln County School District No. 2 trustees approved two school calendars, authorized capital projects to go to bid, accepted a donation and approved several operational items; the commodity-processing food-service bid was tabled for more information.
Lincoln County School District No. 2 trustees approved the Cokeville and Star Valley alternate school calendars, authorized district capital projects to go out to bid and approved a series of routine operational items at their February board meeting.
The board approved the Cokeville alternative calendar for 2025–26 on a voice vote after a motion by Trustee Earl Jenkins and a second by Trustee Wilks. The Star Valley calendar passed after a motion by Trustee Call, seconded by Trustee Day; Trustee Long cast the sole recorded dissent.
Trustees also authorized the district to advertise a slate of capital-improvement projects for competitive bid. The list includes the bus garage upgrades previously funded by the state and several building projects; the motion to send the list to bid passed unanimously.
Other actions at the meeting included acceptance of a $1,000 donation from Impact Construction for Star Valley High School girls wrestling uniforms; approval of a bus trade that exchanges a salvage value for driver professional-development training; and approval of purchase of a portable scoreboard funded from a high school budget line. The board tabled one procurement item — the commodity-processing bid for food services — to allow staff to provide more background at a future meeting.
The board took first-reading action on a large policy package (Section B) that implements the Wyoming School Boards Association’s recommended policy coding and updates; that first reading carried. Several consent items — including personnel changes and payment of bills — were approved as presented.
Trustees said the approvals were routine or time-sensitive, and several board members emphasized that staff would bring additional details or follow-up as work progresses. No new budget hike or tax action was proposed at the meeting.
