The Fremont County School District #2 Board of Trustees welcomed Dr. Annette Walters on her first official day during a board meeting at Chilohu High. Trustees said they look forward to Walters’ leadership for students, staff and community stakeholders.
“First, I would just like to say thank you very much. I have…felt embraced, I feel supported already by the community,” Dr. Annette Walters, the district’s new superintendent, said. She told trustees she has been using GPS to learn local roads and has been “exploring,” and said she is “excited” to work with the district team.
Walters introduced Melinda Garcia, identified in the meeting as a principal who will be working closely with the superintendent. Garcia told the board she has not yet officially started but “still show[s] up to serve whenever [she is] called on.” Walters and Garcia both referenced local ties: Garcia said she is a Fremont County native and a graduate of Wind River High School.
No formal personnel action to appoint Walters was recorded in the meeting transcript. The board framed the introductions as part of onboarding and the start of a working relationship between the superintendent, principal and trustees. The meeting moved after the introductions to scheduled policy reviews and other business.
Ending: The board did not record any vote related to Walters’ employment during the public portion of the meeting. Trustees moved on to policy reviews and then into an executive session to discuss personnel matters.
