Board renews four-year extension MOU with University of Wyoming to continue extension services
Summary
The board approved a four-year Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Wyoming to continue extension office services in Sheridan County through June 30, 2030; extension staff said budgets have shrunk and counties sometimes supplement local staffing.
The board approved an MOU extending Sheridan County’s relationship with the University of Wyoming Extension through June 30, 2030. Gretchen De Gasparico (speaker 11) introduced herself as interim county coordinator and branch educator, and Danelle Packer (speaker 15), associate director for extension, told the commissioners that statewide budget reductions have limited the number of local agents and that some counties supplement service with local funding for part-time coordinators.
Commissioners discussed the county’s lack of a dedicated county extension agent and options such as locally funded part-time positions. After brief discussion a motion to adopt the four-year MOU was seconded and carried by voice vote.
