Fremont school board approves policy updates, facility naming and technology contracts
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Fremont Public Schools Board approved multiple policy updates, named the Fremont High School competition stadium 'Dillon Stadium,' and authorized technology and curriculum purchases (Securly filter renewal, Skill Struck licenses, and Chromebook carts); all motions passed unanimously.
The Fremont Public Schools Board of Education at its regular June 9 meeting approved a series of routine and programmatic actions including policy revisions, a facility naming, and technology and curriculum purchases. The board also authorized the incoming superintendent to sign state and federal grant assurances; the meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m.
Why it matters: The board’s approvals affect day-to-day classroom tools, student safety and district branding. Renewed filtering and classroom-management software will continue districtwide internet controls on Chromebooks; the Skill Struck purchase supports state-mandated computer science coursework; and the naming of the competition stadium gives Fremont High School an official facility name for future communications and signage.

Key details and clarifications The Securly renewal covers two products: Securly Anywhere Filter (5,000 licenses at $2.23 per license) and Securly Classroom (5,020 licenses at $4.48 per license in the stated estimate), with a district recommendation to approve a not-to-exceed total of $33,639.60 funded from the General Fund; administrators noted a quantity-discount price if ESUCC orders exceed 10,000 licenses that could lower per-license costs.
The Skill Struck purchase covers site licenses for Johnson Crossing Academic Center, Fremont Middle School and Fremont High School for the 2025–2026 school year at a total cost of $19,200, funded from the General Fund Teaching & Learning Curriculum budget. The cooperative-agreement approvals permit continued formal arrangements with neighboring schools, including Archbishop Bergan, Arlington High School and Logan View High School.
Named facilities and administration The Facilities Committee recommended naming the competition stadium on the Fremont High School campus “Dillon Stadium,” which the board approved by motion. The Board also approved appointing Brad Dahl as the district’s authorized representative to sign state and federal grant assurances for the 2025–2026 year.
What the board did not do No public comments were recorded during the three statutorily required policy hearings (Parent Engagement Policy 12A, Student Fees Policy 53C.4, and Proposed Policy 6400 Parental/Community Involvement). The meeting listed a closed-session option on the agenda but did not record a vote to enter one.
Next steps Approved contracts and purchases will be executed or administered by the Associate Superintendent or a designee per board delegation; implementation timelines and vendor paperwork were not specified in the minutes. The board’s next regular meeting date was not listed in the minutes provided.
