Summary
Trustee and BOCES reports updated the board on the district's work on a guaranteed and viable curriculum aligned to Wyoming standards, assessment system reviews, and flagged potential issues with statewide dual-enrollment streamlining being discussed by the Joint Appropriations Committee and the Wyoming Community College Commission.
Trustees reported on a recent academic steering committee meeting that included updates on standards, curriculum, and the district assessment system. A trustee summarized work by Natrona County School District subject-area committees to build a guaranteed and viable curriculum across 10 content areas aligned to Wyoming content and performance standards; Doctor Gilbar and Director Tyler Hartle described the NCSD curriculum and assessment development process and the approval timeline.
Associate Superintendent Amy Rose gave an update on work related to GPA, class rank and coursework, and trustees described committee membership drawn from multiple schools and grade levels.
In the BOCES report, a representative said bills paid totaled $18,552.46 at the Dec. 15 meeting and noted upcoming meeting date changes and officer elections. BOCES manager Gina Pickett raised concerns that a Joint Appropriations Committee discussion with the Wyoming Community College Commission about streamlining dual enrollment could create problems because BOCES programs differ across districts; trustees said they will continue follow-up on those issues.
Trustees were encouraged to attend upcoming WSBA and COSMA events; the meeting concluded with brief trustee remarks and adjournment.
