Weston County School District #1 trustees approve agenda, hold executive session on personnel

The Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees convened a special meeting March 3, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in the district administration building; Chairman Billy Fitzwater called the meeting to order and Administrator/Director Beau Gregory led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Trustee Dana Gordon moved to approve the meeting agenda; Trustee Joe Prell seconded, and the motion carried. Trustee Jason Jenkins read a prepared statement to the board immediately before the board recessed into executive session; the minutes do not include the text of that statement.

Trustee Dana Mann-Tavegia moved that the board enter an executive session at 5:03 p.m. under W.S. 16-4-405(x) to discuss personnel matters; Trustee Joe Prell seconded and the motion carried. The minutes state the board remained in executive session until 7:42 p.m., when Chairman Fitzwater brought the board back into regular session.

After returning to open session the board authorized the superintendent to prepare recommendations for the board's March 11 meeting; the minutes do not record a mover, seconder, or a formal roll-call vote for that authorization. The minutes record there was no new business, and Chairman Fitzwater adjourned the special meeting at 7:43 p.m.

The meeting record lists trustees Joe Prell, Dana Mann-Tavegia, Tyler Mills, Dana Gordon, Paul Bau, Billy Fitzwater, Sean Crabtree and Jason Jenkins as present, with Trustee Susan Pillen joining via Zoom at 5:59 p.m., and administrators/directors Brandy Holmes, Tyler Bartlett, Bryce Hoffman, Sonya Tysdal, Taren Olson, Angie Holliday, Taylor Borgialli and Beau Gregory also in attendance. The minutes provide no further detail about the personnel matter discussed in executive session; the board's next stated procedural step is for the superintendent to deliver recommendations at the March 11 meeting.
