Sheridan County School District 2 trustees approve board norms, policies, 2026–27 calendar, vehicle purchase and staff renewals
Summary
The Board of Trustees approved multiple governance and operational items including board norms, several policy readings, the 2026–27 calendar, the purchase of a one‑ton maintenance pickup truck, and professional and administrative staff renewals; no changes to library policy IJL were adopted in open session.
The Sheridan County School District 2 Board of Trustees on Monday approved a package of governance, policy and operational items, including board norms, a board self‑evaluation system, several policy updates on first and second reading, a 2026–27 school calendar and a one‑ton maintenance pickup truck purchase. Trustees also completed professional and administrative staff renewals and approved a salary and benefits package for the 2025–26 school year.
Superintendent Stultz opened district reports by highlighting recent student and community activities and said the district "can't be more proud of our students" as the board moved through routine and policy business.
Key votes at the meeting included approval of the board norms for 2025–26 and adoption of a board self‑evaluation system the trustees had discussed at their retreat. The trustees approved several policy actions on first reading — including revisions to DIE (audits), DJ‑P (staff purchasing) and DJB (student project purchasing) and the deletions of DJE and DJGA where those topics are covered elsewhere in the policy manual — and several policies on second reading, including grievance procedures and sick leave bank guidance (with some items tabled or consolidated as described in the agenda packet).
The board approved the 2026–27 school calendar after staff said the district used a Google form and district email to solicit community input and that responses were higher than the previous year.
On facilities and equipment, trustees approved buying a one‑ton pickup truck through Malloy Auto Group for $59,956 using funds from the district's depreciation reserve. Facilities staff told the board the district has one aging 2011 one‑ton truck and that an additional one‑ton is needed to safely haul heavy trailers and equipment during maintenance operations.
Personnel and finance actions included trustees approving a revised personnel action report, authorizing the superintendent to notify initial contract teachers who are being renewed and to send termination notices where contracts will not be renewed as required by Wyoming statute. The board approved the professional staff renewal list and the administrator staff renewal list for 2025–26, and approved a salary and benefits package identified as "option 2" in the packet.
The board approved IMA as the district's insurance broker; Trustee Rambert recorded an abstention on the vote.
Ending
Board business closed with committee reports and reminders about upcoming events. Trustees recessed to executive session for personnel and confidential matters and returned to approve several personnel items before adjourning.
