Board approves five-year application to continue four-day school week
Summary
Trustees unanimously authorized staff to submit a five-year alternative calendar application to the Wyoming Department of Education to continue the district’s four-day school week.
The Laramie County School District #2 Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve submission of a five-year application for an alternative calendar that maintains the district’s four-day school week.
Superintendent (name not specified) told the board the Wyoming Department of Education has revised rule chapters; the changes are on the governor’s desk and must be enacted by April 8 for the district to meet an April 1 filing window. District staff provided stakeholder survey results showing roughly 98% support for the four-day schedule and asked the board to approve submitting the five-year application to ensure paperwork deadlines are met.
The superintendent said staff cannot present a full, proposed calendar at the meeting but will return with a one-year calendar for next year and a multi-year calendar for later years because the shift of Memorial Day in 2026 changes the calendar structure. Trustees were asked to review stakeholder comments already posted and submit brief narrative responses so staff can document public input as required by rule.
Board Member Matt (surname not specified) moved the application approval; Kendra (surname not specified) seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.
Staff will finalize and submit the application and return with proposed calendars and documentation of responses to public comment at the April meeting.
