Board approves auditorium change orders, policy amendments and multiple staff contracts
Summary
Trustees approved two auditorium change orders totaling $8,772.22, adopted amended policies on first reading, accepted resignations and offered teacher and administrator contracts for 2025–26.
Fremont County School District #25 trustees approved several administrative actions at their Feb. 25 meeting, including construction change orders for the Riverton High School auditorium, policy amendments on first reading and multiple personnel moves for the 2025–26 school year.
The board approved change order numbers 12 and 13 with Samson Construction Company, Inc., for $8,772.22. The motion described work to modify hat‑channel and handrail details in theater seating aisles and to add a platform in storage room 106. A board discussion clarified what a "hat channel" is during the meeting; one trustee explained it is a metal channel used to attach drywall to masonry.
Nut graf: Trustees handled a variety of routine but consequential administrative items: construction adjustments to the auditorium, policy updates, and staffing decisions that set the district’s courses for the coming school year.
Other approvals included adoption on first reading of amended policies 4115‑E (field trip budget request), 4165 (animals in schools) and a district sick‑leave bank policy. Trustees also accepted resignations for the 2024–25 school year and approved offers of contracts to three teachers for 2025–26: Wendy Pratt (Bridal school math teacher), Adria Ladd (Aspen Elementary third grade teacher) and Madison Dulkator (Willow Creek Elementary teacher). The board also agreed to offer contracts to the district’s school administrators for the 2025–26 school year, with contract details to be determined later.
