Autocross group raises parking‑fee concerns; WEA asks board for redacted findings on staff complaints

Representatives of an autocross group and Judy Trohkimoinen, director for the Wyoming Education Association, addressed the Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees during public comment at the March 31 meeting.

Autocross representatives told trustees they were concerned about what they described as a district plan to charge people for using district parking lots on Saturdays for drag‑racing events and asked the board to reconsider the proposal. The minutes do not record a response from the board or any follow‑up direction.

Judy Trohkimoinen told the board that it has been two years since a group of staff members voiced concerns; she said attorneys have discussed the matter and asked the board to provide a redacted copy of the findings and to work with those staff members so the issue can be resolved. The minutes record Trohkimoinen's request but do not show a response or an action to provide the requested documents.

No motions or votes on these topics were recorded in the minutes. The board's next scheduled special meeting—announced in the same session for April 2—was listed as an executive session under W.S. 16‑4‑405(h) to discuss administrators' evaluations/contracts and teacher contract matters; the minutes do not indicate that the public comments will be added to that executive session agenda.

The public comments raise two outstanding requests for the board: clarification of any proposed parking‑fee policy affecting community events and consideration of the Wyoming Education Association's request for a redacted copy of the findings related to staff concerns.
