Board members and staff described a Saturday/Sunday tournament in which two women’s restrooms clogged and required emergency plumbing calls; the incident occurred during heavy facility use and required work outside regular hours.

Recreation staff proposed requiring usage fees or deposits for outside clubs (AAU and similar groups) that use district facilities. Staff recommended a deposit or usage fee set aside in a recreation account to offset emergency maintenance calls, custodial costs and wear‑and‑tear; the finance director confirmed the district could create a rec‑board account to hold deposits and refund (or retain) funds per policy. Board members discussed balancing support for local clubs with the need to recoup costs; one trustee suggested a flat fee for club tournaments. Directors also noted AAU and club groups currently retain gate receipts and that clubs pay national membership fees for tournament rights; the board said it did not intend to prohibit local clubs but wanted a mechanism to recover facility repair or emergency costs.

The board asked staff to review and rewrite facility‑use policies and return with a recommended fee/deposit structure on a future agenda. No formal vote was recorded; the discussion concluded with administrative follow‑up assigned to operations and finance staff.

Ending: The board directed staff to draft a revised facility‑use policy that would include deposit and fee options to protect the district’s facilities and recoup emergency maintenance costs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weston County School District #1, regular meeting of the Board of Trustees.

Administration described the item as a state legislative change that “went into law March 3,” and recommended the board adopt the policy rather than proceed with multiple readings.

One board member commented on the title’s wording (saying they disliked the legislative title) but noted the district had no option to change the statutory name. No discussion of implementation specifics was recorded; the administration said it would proceed with the policy as adopted.

Murphy said the change would let girls participate in both basketball and wrestling rather than being forced to choose, and that several nearby schools in the district (Moorcroft, Hewlett, Upton, Sundance and others) are already moving to post‑Christmas schedules.

Murphy reported preliminary interest among current sixth and seventh graders (seven yes, two maybes) and described estimated costs: a head coach stipend (approx. $4,200) and an assistant (approx. $2,100), additional officials costs for separate boys' and girls' tournaments, and a modest additional uniform need (five to ten singlets, roughly $80 each). Board members asked clarifying questions about travel, regional alignment and whether the schedule change would affect district culminating events; administrators clarified that middle school would run district culminating events (no state regional/state events for middle school) and that some neighboring states/regions have different schedules.

The board directed staff to put the proposal on the next meeting’s agenda under New Business and asked Cielo to post the two coaching positions so recruitment can begin. Trustees recorded no formal vote at the discussion; the superintendent’s recommendation will return for formal board action at the next meeting.

Ending: The board scheduled follow‑up discussion and a formal motion for the next meeting so the district can finalize budgets, post positions and confirm travel/competition logistics.","Administrators and an athletics representative proposed switching the middle‑school girls wrestling season to January–March so girls could participate in both basketball and wrestling; the board asked staff to place the change on the next agenda and to post coach positions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6569361,"Weston County school board approves pay increases, budget adjustments and program funding",1426,1206000,2632000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3182756-7e85d9a891ccedd9349ebb0e68ea2e5d&start=1206&end=2632","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3182756-7e85d9a891ccedd9349ebb0e68ea2e5d/thumbnail_1206000.jpg","/articles/6569361/Weston-County/Wyoming/Weston-County-school-board-approves-pay-increases-budget-adjustments-and-program-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569361-aa1f3a92384c3ca07ea514ac8b424cd7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437926&Signature=AuhoE~wnHd41dyaizNwuJ9m~U3uLF3TNupFdVxf4hYP9KDihVHzsyfLO5Yqe2trchXvQm202vEk~bV8jYl5kecMEJDU~bsTa9BNkYS2mgbpUG-oOFHrPz-3hD2kdHGnRIL5qwJxEvfqk461RZBDVWtyOD3Iruck01Hqe2khe5DlYGpBxXCGcSnCCBMFEVUJ0DPgRj-ThUz5ktA1TV6oymIyk8va1uEGTyfJsHn~Nf4j9i23xjApa~rirzfM0ZV-1J7oS8sKPUscBRSX5fO6Fk4WNEopfBYjaEglPMdF-fxbQJ7DtUvjHAIK3AtkkRUssfT87j57KkIv9GtM8uzsCBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Weston County School Board on a series of largely unanimous voice votes approved multiple personnel pay adjustments, budget increases, and program funding moves affecting the 2025–26 fiscal year.

Board members voted to cover a 9% increase in district medical insurance costs (estimated at about $170,000), authorize one-step certified and classified staff raises and lane changes, increase the certified base by $750, raise directors' and administrators' bases by $1,000, and make multiple other targeted budget changes. The board approved an increase of roughly $100,000 to general‑fund major maintenance, a $75,000 allocation to the transportation budget for vehicle/bus upgrades, a roughly $3,000 addition to the high‑school athletic budget to accommodate future shot‑clock officials, and other targeted reallocations. The board also approved moving $14,000 in existing funds to middle‑ and high‑school coaching extra‑duty contracts and adding $250 per contract.

The board approved a proposal to stop participating in the federal lunch program for grades 6–12 beginning in the 2025–26 school year and to fund the service locally; administrators said the transition would require approximately $100,000 from the general fund. Trustees also approved allocating $10,000 from the general fund to continue Special Olympics participation after state funding ended, and approved a $3 hourly base increase for three building secretaries (estimated $20,000 total).

Board members approved a recommendation to open employee key‑card access to the weight room as part of a staff wellness plan, and approved reallocations to cover pool and rec fund items and to keep current extra‑duty amounts unchanged for some recreation positions.

The board received and approved the third quarter financial report (Jan. 1–March 31), which showed state foundation payments for the quarter of $1,929,089.71 and county tax payments to the general fund of $1,274,859.59. The report noted food service had been supplemented from the general fund by $105,950 to cover wages so far this fiscal year; administrators said food service has required supplemental general‑fund support in prior years as well.

All motions described above were moved and seconded on the record and carried by voice vote; meeting audio records show the routine “All those in favor… Aye. Opposed, nay. Motion carried.” phrasing for each.

Ending: The package of votes represents the board’s current budget and personnel priorities heading into 2025–26; several items (notably the food‑service transition and vehicle/major‑maintenance increases) will affect upcoming planning and staffing. No roll‑call tallies were given in the transcript for these motions; outcomes were recorded in the meeting as approved.","At its regular meeting the Weston County School Board approved a package of personnel pay increases, line‑item budget adjustments and program funding reallocations, and passed motions to change food service and other operational items.","actionData","errors"]
