Summary
Trustees approved officer roles and committee assignments during an organizational meeting and work session; the board set its 2026 officer slate and confirmed trustees to 13 standing committees ahead of the December board calendar.
Chair Smith opened a work session and reviewed assignments to 13 standing committees, inviting trustees to confirm or change roles. Trustees Renee, Marilyn and Barb volunteered to continue as legislative liaisons; other trustees affirmed service on committees including the Cheyenne Schools Foundation Board, Transportation Advisory, Teacher Selection, Insurance, and parent advisory groups.
At the organizational portion of the meeting trustees nominated and voted on officer positions for the coming year. Nominations were taken for chair, vice chair, treasurer, clerk, assistant clerk and assistant treasurer. After nominations and voice votes the board approved the slate and administered the oath of office for the designated officers. The motion process followed the board’s customary nomination/second/voice-vote procedure.
Trustees emphasized continuity and collaboration in governance. The chair said she would support measures that encourage open board discussion and better engagement with school staff and community partners. Trustee Cook said she welcomed fresh perspectives but stressed the importance of teacher support and clear communication from the board.
The board also confirmed committee assignments discussed during the work session and encouraged trustees to attend parent and advisory meetings when schedules allow. The board planned to finalize any remaining officer or committee details at the board's December organizational meeting.
The board adjourned the organizational voting and moved on to its regular agenda.
