The Teton County District Board took a series of formal votes during the meeting. This summary lists each action, the motion and the recorded outcome.
1) United Way community‑school grant acceptance and two site coordinators (DES and THS) - Motion: Accept United Way grant participation and authorize two full‑time community school coordinator positions at Driggs Elementary School (DES) and Teton High School (THS).
