Board approves student travel, accepts grants and personnel changes
Summary
At its January meeting, the Fremont County School District #25 board approved two student out‑of‑state trips, accepted several grants and trust funds, and accepted resignations and other personnel actions; trustees recorded approvals by voice vote and asked for clarification on one grant amount that appeared inconsistent in the transcript.
During its meeting, the Fremont County School District #25 board approved multiple administrative recommendations and received several informational updates.
By voice vote the board approved two out-of-state travel requests: Riverton High School American Heritage students to travel to Boston and New York in March 2026, and the Riverton Middle School eighth-grade band to travel to Layton, Utah for Music in the Parks in May 2026.
Trustees moved to accept grant awards for the 2025–26 period; the transcript included inconsistent figures when one trustee read totals (the number reported orally in the meeting appears garbled). Administration will provide corrected grant documentation as needed. The board also accepted additional Title allocations for FY 2024–25 (amounts reported in the meeting: $85.99 and $1,781.37) and accepted proceeds from the closing of the Peter Storff Educational Trust in the amount of $28,434.38.
Personnel actions approved by voice vote included acceptance of resignations: Holly Weston (Frontier Academy counselor, effective 01/02/2026) and Ashley Penner (Riverton High School assistant volleyball coach, effective 01/05/2026). The board reviewed classified staff changes, transfers and several new hires listed in the executive content provided to trustees.
Several items were information-only: revised policies on school-sponsored field trips and activities, board meeting participation, and treatment of head lice; notices of 10-day drop students; and enrollment remarks indicating a consistent range in a referenced program (50–60 students). The board recessed into executive session later in the meeting to conduct the superintendent’s evaluation.
