At its meeting, the Goshen County School District #1 Board of Trustees approved several formal motions and contracts by voice votes.
On old business the board approved proposed revisions to district policy (second and final reading), renaming payroll deductions and renumbering the policy as noted. The consent agenda was approved without items pulled.
On personnel actions the board accepted the resignation of elementary Title intervention teacher Susan Keller, effective at the end of the 2025–26 school year. The board also approved offering a teaching contract to Kenneth Casey Henry at LFL High School for 2026–27 (pending certification) and approved offering administrator and director contracts for 2026–27 as presented, with the caveat that any legal-counsel changes tied to salary and benefits would be brought back to the board.
The board approved a facilities contracting request for bleacher repair and servicing under district policy 34 20: $10,000 for bleachers at Southeast, Lingle, TMS and THS and $3,040 to replace roller drives at TMS, for a total of $13,040.
For special education the board authorized a contract with Heartspring to provide residential and educational services for student #3811 from March 30, 2026, through June 30, 2026, not to exceed $123,884. The chair reminded trustees that the expenditure is charged to the general fund and is reimbursable through special education. Trustees asked about level of care; the superintendent said this is a high-need, out-of-state placement requiring 24-hour care.
The board also approved an amendment to a 2025–26 contract with Access to Learning (deaf and hard of hearing services) for an additional $4,500 for increased student service needs, amending the contract total to not exceed $26,500; trustees discussed in-person versus virtual visits and travel costs.
All motions were approved by voice vote with "aye" recorded and the chair stating "motion carries." The meeting packet and consent documents will be uploaded to the district website as indicated by staff.
