Weston County School District #1 board approves hires, policy changes and consent warrants
Summary
The Board of Trustees approved the consent agenda with warrants and contracts, confirmed multiple certified and classified hires including a special education director and a business manager, adopted several policies and approved an early graduation request during its May 27, 2026 meeting.
The Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees approved a series of personnel actions, policy changes and financial warrants at its regular meeting on May 27, 2026.
Chairman Billy Fitzwater opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. and the board approved the published agenda by voice vote after a motion by Trustee Dana Gordon and a second from Trustee Tyler Mills. The board then approved the consent agenda, moved by Trustee Jason Jenkins and seconded by Trustee Dana Gordon; the motion carried.
The consent agenda included approval of minutes from the May 12 regular and executive sessions, community education contracts for Shenae Alberts (Parents/Child Aquatics; Water Aerobics) and Jessica Graham (Zumba), acceptance of an extra-duty resignation from Allen Von Eye as Middle School Head Track Coach, and two special education contracts — Rehab Solutions and Little Bit of Guidance, LLC — each in amounts not to exceed $2,000.
As part of the consent approvals the board recorded and approved fund warrants totaling: General Fund $290,435.75; Activity Fund $43,513.86; Lunch Fund $34,909.96; Agency Fund $1,596.77; Special Revenue $5,175.74; Major Maintenance $387,972.69; Federal Fund $16,454.04; Payroll Fund $604,233.35; Payee Fund $195,747.28; and an EFTPS journal transfer of $303,557.43.
Under new business Superintendent LaCroix recommended several certified and classified hires, all of which the board approved: Loleen Carter as a middle school sixth-grade teacher (science, reading and an elective); Devin Dickey as special education director (with the board also approving posting an additional special education teacher position); Kylie Carson as the 8–12 agriculture and welding teacher and FFA advisor; and Jessica Sacrison as business manager. The board also approved an early graduation request for Faith Hicks, pending completion of graduation requirements.
Superintendent LaCroix presented district policy changes. The board approved revisions to IHAR (Co‑curricular and Extracurricular Programs), IKF (Graduation Requirements), IKF‑E (Graduation Requirements Exhibits), JE (Student Attendance), JICJ (Student Use of Cell Phones, Smart Devices, and Other Electronic Equipment), and JJIC (Participation in High School Activities). The board adopted new policies EH (Personal Data Privacy and Security), IHBI (Time Distribution Records for Federal Programs) and JJI (Student Athletics).
Motions in the meeting were recorded as "MOTION CARRIED" in the transcript; the board did not record roll-call vote tallies in the minutes provided. Where the transcript omitted the name of the motion mover for an item (for example, the motion to approve the certified recommendation for Devin Dickey lists only "Trustee moved"), the transcript does not specify who moved the motion; those details are not provided in the meeting record.
The meeting concluded after administrator reports and other business; Chairman Fitzwater adjourned the session at 7:38 p.m.
