The Laramie County School District #1 Board of Trustees on June 16 approved an administrative denial of a governmental claim filed on behalf of a minor student in the amount of $500,000 so the claim may be handled by the district's insurance carrier.
Trustee King asked that the record reflect the board's action is a denial to allow the claim to move to insurance rather than an outright rejection. "I just wanted to make sure it gets into the record that this is a denial of claim so it can move on to insurance and we're not just outright denying the claim," Trustee King said. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tally is recorded in the transcript.
After completing open business, the board voted to go into executive session "for the purpose of possible long‑term suspensions, expulsions, personnel, and legal advice."
