Weston County school board approves consent items, hears pool repair update and grant reimbursements

The Weston County School District board moved through routine business and a series of operational updates during its meeting.

The board approved the meeting agenda, which included adding an executive session under item g, and later approved the consent agenda without discussion; both motions were made, properly seconded and carried by voice vote.

Speaker 6 updated trustees on pool repairs: the liner and welding work are finished, crews packed up, and pool filling is scheduled once boilers arrive. Staff reported a $9,400 contract revision after pinhole leaks were found in gutters but said the work remained under the contract's 'do not exceed' amount.

On school food and donation items, Speaker 15 said the district was awarded $12,000 from the School Protein Enhancement Project grant (a reimbursement program that covers half of processing costs). She reported $4,149.80 in processing costs so far and estimated a $2,000 reimbursement at year-end from donated meat. Speaker 5 said Scheels and a local donor had contributed or been asked to contribute life jackets and funds toward recreation safety.

The chair moved and the board approved entering executive session to discuss a student matter under "Wyoming statute 16 4 4 0 5, little I, little x." No further details were disclosed in open session; the meeting later adjourned.

Also at the same time, the East and West Recreation Board met, approved its consent agenda and recognized volunteers who worked on the pool project before adjourning.

Votes reported in open session were voice votes with 'aye' and no roll-call tallies provided in the transcript.
