The Fremont County School District 1 Board of Trustees will hold a regular meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 15, at 863 Sweetwater Street in Lander.
The agenda for the meeting includes an executive session to consider suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary action in connection with any student, as provided by law.
Under action items, the board will consider personnel actions as well as three potential donations from the LOR Foundation.
The proposed donations include:
-$20,100 to purchase supplies and equipment for high school drama productions
-$11,304 to purchase furniture for the Family Resource Center
-$6,442 to purchase equipment and supplies for the Empty Bowls project at Baldwin Creek Elementary School
The board will also review bids for three different properties in Jeffrey City, including:
