Fremont County School District No. 25 adopts personnel and policy measures, accepts $12,000 Perkins grant; moves to executive session
Summary
The Fremont County School District No. 25 Board of Trustees adopted several personnel and policy measures on first reading, accepted a $12,000 Perkins CTE professional development grant, approved coaching contracts and resignations, and then moved into an executive session for student discipline and legal advice.
The Fremont County School District No. 25 Board of Trustees adopted multiple administrative recommendations during its Aug. 26, 2025 meeting, including first readings of personnel and operational policies, acceptance of a Perkins Career and Technical Education professional development grant of $12,000, and the offer of several coaching contracts. After routine business and recognitions, the board moved into executive session to discuss student discipline and legal advice.
The board approved on first reading new or revised policies listed by staff as Policy 5,100 (Family and Medical Leave), Policy 3,210 (Meal Charge) and Policy 10-56 (Firearms, personal authorized personnel authorized to carry). The board also approved the consent agenda, which included approving minutes from the Aug. 12, 2025 meeting and second readings of several personnel-related policies staff had proposed for amendment.
In personnel actions, the board accepted the resignation of David Collins as a Riverton Middle School assistant cross country coach (effective immediately) and subsequently offered Collins a contract as Riverton High School assistant girls swim coach. Additional contract offers recorded by staff included Bradley Eliason (Riverton Middle School assistant seventh-grade football coach) and Cameron Robertson (Riverton Middle School assistant cross country coach); the board approved those offers.
The board unanimously approved acceptance of a Perkins CTE Professional Development Grant in the amount of $12,000 for the 2025–26 school year. Trustees also recorded donations and informational items: a $500 donation from Hal Heron to the Riverton Aquatic Center to sponsor 10 Level 1 beginner group lessons and two electric pottery wheels donated to the RHS art department by Joy Jones.
After completing action and information items, a trustee moved and the board approved proceeding into executive session to discuss student discipline and legal advice. The public portion of the meeting concluded before the executive session began.
Why it matters: First-reading policy adoptions and grant acceptances shape district personnel practices and professional development capacity for the coming school year. The Perkins grant funds CTE staff development, donations support extracurricular and arts programming, and the hiring actions fill coaching and paraeducator roles that affect daily student programs and extracurricular opportunities.
