Weston County School District #1 board approves multiple resignations, 7‑period high school day and graduation‑policy revisions
Summary
At its March 31 meeting the Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees accepted multiple staff resignations, approved a shift to a seven‑period high school day beginning 2026‑27 and adopted revisions to policy IKF with an exhibit on graduation credit requirements.
The Weston County School District #1 Board of Trustees on March 31 approved a slate of personnel resignations, a change to the high‑school daily schedule and revisions to graduation requirements.
Superintendent LaCroix recommended the actions, and the board approved them without recorded roll‑call tallies; minutes note each motion as "MOTION CARRIED." The resignations approved effective at the end of the 2024‑25 school year included certified staff Zane Marty (elementary teacher), Chad Ostenson (K‑12 Adaptive P.E.), Marti Ostenson (K‑5 Title Math), Erin Pzinski (K‑12 literacy facilitator) and Melissa Sisk (elementary special education teacher), and classified staff Madison Holden (middle‑school special education paraprofessional), Kristy Lewis (elementary special education paraprofessional) and James Phillips (lead custodian). The board also accepted the director resignation of Denise Anderson (food service director). The superintendent thanked each staff member for their years of service.
The board also approved a recommendation that Weston County High School move to a seven‑period day beginning with the 2026‑27 school year. The minutes do not record implementation detail such as bell times, staffing adjustments or course scheduling; the decision was approved at the meeting and will require administrative planning to implement.
Trustees approved revisions to policy IKF, "Graduation Requirements," and added IKF‑E, "Graduation Credit Requirements," as an exhibit. The minutes record the adoption but do not provide the text of the revisions; the district will need to publish the updated policy and exhibit for public review and to guide counselors and administrators.
The board approved a consent agenda that included minutes from the March 12 regular and executive meetings, payroll and regular bills, and Community Education extra‑duty contracts for Driver's Education. Itemized warrants approved at the meeting included: General Fund warrants #691056–691122 ($111,664.91); Activity Fund warrants #12604–12624 ($11,558.22); Lunch Fund warrants #6304–6306 ($1,344.65); Major Maintenance Fund warrants #3147–3149 ($6,599.65); Agency Fund warrants #2931–2933 ($727.13); Payroll Fund warrants #125710–125734 ($186,427.95) and #125735–125971 ($574,346.68); EFTPS journal transfers #125972–125977 ($306,138.30); and Federal Fund warrants #17419–17428 ($61,952.95).
Next procedural steps noted in the minutes include an announced special board meeting for April 2, which will include an executive session to discuss administrators' evaluations/contracts and certain teacher contracts. The minutes do not record any formal motions or amendments tied to the schedule or the IKF policy beyond the approvals recorded at the meeting.
The meeting convened at 7:00 p.m. and adjourned at 7:41 p.m.
