Weston County School District No. 1 board approves 2024–2025 budget after public hearing

The Weston County School District No. 1 Board of Trustees approved the district’s 2024–2025 budget at a regular meeting on July 17, 2024, following a public hearing. Business Manager Angle Holliday presented the proposed expenditures for each fund account at 8:00 p.m.; no members of the public offered comments.

Why it matters: Board approval clears the budget for the coming school year and authorizes spending across district accounts. Trustees must approve the plan before the district moves forward with expenditures tied to the new fiscal year.

At the meeting, Trustee Dana Gordon moved to approve the budget for 2024–2025; Trustee Jason Jenkins seconded and the motion carried. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the public minutes; the motion was entered as "MOTION CARRIED." Business Manager Angle Holliday presented line‑by‑line account proposals and answered administrative questions during the hearing.

Administrators’ context: In earlier reports Angie Holliday (recorded in the minutes as "Angle Holliday") said staff had been preparing for the coming year and that district budgeting work has been ongoing. Superintendent LaCroix reported summer preparations and said, "The middle school outdoor learning center is completed and looks really nice." The presentation and approval concluded the scheduled budget hearing and the board moved on to other business.
