Transportation staff ask Weston County School District #1 trustees to reconsider cutting two positions
Summary
Troy Allen and several transportation department staff told the board they were concerned that cutting two transportation positions would harm routing and service and asked trustees to reverse or delay the decision; trustees took no vote to reverse the cuts during the meeting.
Troy Allen and several transportation department employees spoke to the Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees during the visitors and staff-input portion of the April 8 meeting to urge trustees to reconsider a planned cut of two transportation positions.
The staffers described operational concerns tied to the reductions and asked the board to delay or reverse the personnel action so routes and student safety would not be affected. The transcript records that the transportation employees raised those concerns but does not record a trustee vote or formal action reversing the planned cuts.
Chairman Billy Fitzwater presided over the meeting. Superintendent Brad LaCroix and school administrators were present while the transportation staff addressed the board, and no motion to change the staffing decision was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The matter remains at the discussion stage in the minutes; trustees approved multiple personnel and finance items in the consent agenda later in the meeting but did not vote to alter the transportation staffing plan during this session. The board may take the request up at a future meeting or through an administrative personnel process.
