Board approves travel, handbooks, BOCES funds and construction change order; accepts resignations and offers a contract
Summary
Trustees approved multiple administrative recommendations including out‑of‑state travel for student delegations, three student handbooks, use of up to $10,000 in BOCES funds for a CNA course, a construction change order for the high school auditorium and several personnel actions.
The Fremont County School District #25 Board of Trustees voted on multiple administrative recommendations and routine business items during the meeting.
Key actions recorded in the public minutes:
- Approval of the meeting agenda and consent agenda (minutes, payment of bills and standard authorizations). The board adopted both the agenda and the consent agenda by voice vote.
- Out‑of‑state and student travel approvals: trustees approved an out‑of‑state travel request for a student delegation to attend nationals (delegation requested travel at public comment) and separately approved Riverton High School FCCLA students to travel to Orlando, Florida, in July 2025 for FCCLA National Convention. The board also approved a Riverton Middle School Leather Crafting Club trip to Sheridan, Wyoming.
- Student handbooks: trustees approved the Frontier Academy (grades 9–12), SPUR Virtual Academy (K–12) and the K–8 Venture Upward Academy (summer and district distinctions) student handbooks for the 2025–26 school year.
- Use of BOCES activity funds: trustees approved using up to $10,000 from BOCES funds to cover Riverton High School CNA course‑related costs. Staff clarified the funds are held by BOCES but administered for district activities.
- Construction change order: trustees approved Change Order No. 14 with Sampson Construction Company for $11,397.85 to add carpet to the Riverton High School auditorium seating area and to add a soffit and shelving over the trophy case. Staff said acoustical advice from theater specialists prompted the change from sealed concrete to carpet to reduce reverberation.
- Personnel actions: trustees accepted resignations from certified staff including Caitlin Meissner (Rendezvous Elementary fourth grade teacher) and Jeanne Carper (Rendezvous/Jackson special education teacher) effective at the end of the 2024–25 school year, and accepted the resignation of Dr. Jeremy Hill as Willow Creek principal effective 06/13/2025. The board voted to offer a contract to Krista Stinson as a Rendezvous Elementary fourth grade teacher for 2025–26.
Each of the listed motions was moved and seconded as part of the meeting's regular action items; the transcript records voice approvals with "Aye" and no roll‑call tallies in the public record. The board did not attach dollar amounts or additional conditions to several approvals beyond those recorded (for example, specific travel budgets were not printed in the motion text in the transcript).
