The Fremont County School District #25 Board of Trustees on Feb. 24 approved a string of administrative requests and personnel actions, including multiple out‑of‑state student travel requests, adoption of an amended field‑trip policy on first reading, a new elective course for Riverton High School and several personnel items.
The board approved Riverton High School and Riverton Middle School FFA students traveling to Greeley, Colorado for the Blackout Livestock Show in March 2026, Riverton High School girls soccer travel to Denver in March for a varsity mini camp, and Riverton High School Key Club travel to Estes Park in April for the Key Club District Convention. The motions were made by board members in open session and seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the board responded 'Aye' to approve each trip. The transcript records the affirmative vote as 'Aye' but does not list a roll‑call tally or named vote counts.
On policy, trustees moved to adopt amended policy 4115 (field‑trip procedures) and the associated out‑of‑state activity and budget request forms on first reading. The motion was seconded and approved in open session.
The board also declared a list of items surplus and agreed to donate them to the community; approved Riverton High School's new course proposal 'History of Rock' for the 2026–27 school year; accepted the retirement of Rendezvous Elementary second‑grade teacher Audrey Bridal (effective May 22, 2026); accepted resignations listed in the agenda (Shelley Chance, Daniel McLean, Morgan Masson and Tiffany Link, with effective dates as stated); and authorized offering a contract to Jacob Lam as the district adaptive physical education teacher for 2026–27.
An executive session on personnel was held during the meeting; the board returned to open session and approved the executive session minutes of Feb. 24, 2026. No confidential personnel details were disclosed in open session.
What happens next: travel arrangements and related budgets will be administered per district policy, course approvals will be implemented for the 2026–27 catalog, and the district will proceed with the contract offer and hiring steps for adaptive PE. The board did not record precise vote tallies in the public transcript; public records or minutes maintained by the district may include roll‑call details.
