A board member asked the Laramie County School District #2 board to consider placing an Eklund memorial bench at a school or repurposing an existing bench, and the board indicated informal support on Monday.
Speaker 5 proposed coordinating placement and wording with the family and building administrators rather than creating a districtwide memorial policy. Several members signaled assent; Speaker 5 confirmed no district funds would be used and that the item could be handled at the building level.
The board did not take formal action in the work session; Speaker 5 said he would work with administrators and the family to proceed if the family desires a plaque or bench placement.
