Due to his son's serious accident, Dr. Burnett resigned from the board in August 2002. Dr. Burnett expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to be able to serve on the board and his regrets that he was unable to complete his term.
After the presentation to Dr. Burnett, Chairperson Houfek introduced newly elected legislator Monte Olsen. Mr. Olsen wanted to introduce himself to the community as well as the board members and to assure everyone that his door would always be open to their questions and concerns.
1.3 Approve minutes of the regular meeting for October 15, 2002: Chairperson Dr. Scott Houfek asked if there were any additions or corrections to the October 15, 2002, minutes. There being none, the minutes were approved as presented.

3. Reports/Delegations:
3.1 Report - Fifth-grade Teton Science School: Max Guenthner, Janelle Nessan, Rodney Feiock and Caitlin Haugh, fifth-grade students, provided a slide presentation, with a brief explanation of each slide, which highlighted their trip to Teton Science School. The students asked to attend the board meeting to show their appreciation to the board for their participation in making in possible for the fifth-grade students to attend the Teton Science School. Western/Sublette No. 9 BOCES paid the tuition for all of the students and chaperones.
3.2 Report - High school student council: Cristen Leavitt reported for the high school student council. Cristen explained that eight students had attended the Wyoming Association of Student Councils (WASC) and the speaker was outstanding. At the conference, Terrell Brown was awarded All-State Honorable Mention for Student Councils and Mr. Clifford received the Advisor of the Year award. She informed the audience the blood drive at the high school would be conducted on November 20, 2002. Cristen reviewed the athletic program and indicated the football team had made it to the semi playoffs, the swim team had placed fourth at State and the volleyball team played very hard at the pigtail game but was not victorious, so they did not go to Regional.
3.3 Report - Middle school student council: Heather Long and Clint Beiermann reported jointly for the middle school student council. Heather explained the first-period classes were raising money through raffles and bake sales to buy Christmas gifts for the Angel Tree Program. Clint informed the audience that the week of November 18 through November 22, 2002 was American Education Week and the student council was busy getting treats ready to distribute to the students each day. The theme for the Big Piney Middle School is "Go Anywhere by Dumb."
3.4 Report - Principals, elementary, middle and high school: Chris Meiring reported the Guided Reading trainer from Missoula, Mont., came and worked with the first and second grades in LaBarge and Big Piney, and the instructor felt the program was coming along nicely. Marion Deile, a VOWAC instructor, will be in the district December 4, 5 and 6 for teacher training and coaching. Chris also mentioned Big Piney Elementary Student Council elections would be held on November 22, 2002, and the students participating were busy posting their signs and finalizing their speeches.
Gerry Chase reported on October 26, 2002, the Big Piney Middle School hosted the honor band and choir clinic, with students from Mountain View, Lyman, Jackson, Star Valley, Pinedale, Kemmerer and Cokeville participating. The Glenrock High School band director and the Douglas High School choral director came and worked with the students all day and had a program that evening. Parent/teacher conferences were held on the evening of November 7, and from 8 a.m. to noon on November 8, with 106 parents representing 85 students attending.
Lee Kenney indicated the high school also had parent/teacher conferences, with 80 parents attending and four students, whose parents were unable to attend, came in their places. The Veteran's Day program on Monday, November 11, was an extremely nice program. The program lasted about an hour and 15 minutes, but seemed to hold the attention of everyone attending, including the kindergarten students. Mr. Kenney reported the curriculum mapping training started in the high school on Tuesday and would continue throughout the week.
3.5 Report - Superintendent: Weldon Shelley reviewed the many areas that were required to complete the "Body of Evidence" which will be submitted to the state in February. The high school staff is training with Curriculum Compass, which helps teachers learn to map the instructional programs. The district has also purchased "Pass Plan", which is a software program that is used to build the assessment side of the "Body of Evidence." This program will help the teaching staff to develop tests, have the tests scored and keep track of the students' progress. The Wyoming School Board Association is having its conference November 20, 21 and 22. Those attending should receive updated information on school funding.
3.6 Report - Transportation - Tara Porter: Tara Porter gave a synopsis of the miles driven for activities, field trips and the regular bus route miles. Tara reported she had a couple of previous bus drivers apply for jobs, so right now the transportation department seems to be running very smoothly.
3.7 Report - Maintenance - Kenney Meeks: Kenney Meeks explained he and his staff were getting the gymnasiums ready for the basketball season. They were also checking out the ventilation systems to make sure they were operating property and, in preparation for next spring's lawn care fertilizing program, they were putting the chemicals together.
4. Unfinished business: None
5. New business:
5.1 Personal leave day for sponsors of the Europe trip: A motion was made by Dr. Robert Beiermann and seconded by Jack Sims to approve a personal day for the sponsors of the Europe trip planned over spring break. The motion carried.
5.2 Purchase two activity buses: The two Thomas activity buses have a long span of repairs and problems. Tara Porter, transportation director, has tried to get them replaced under the "Lemon Law." On November 7, 2002, Mr. Shelley received a letter from D. Leeds Pickering, program manager from the Wyoming State Department, advising the district he did not feel the repairs were beyond normal for buses that were seven years old and close to or over 100,000 miles. It was the consensus of the board that the students' safety was the most important issue, and taking in account both buses broke down during activity trips in the coldest part of the winter, it was decided to replace the two Thomas buses. A motion was made by Bill Krieger to replace the buses at a cost of $229,002, less the trade-in value of $24,000 for the two Thomas buses, which would be a bottom line factor of $205,002. Robert Beiermann seconded the motion. The motion carried.
6. Set date, time and location of next meeting: A motion was made by Bill Krieger and seconded by Dr. Robert Beiermann to set the next regular meeting date of the board of trustees to Monday, December 23, 2002, at 7 p.m. in the boardroom at the Fine Arts Auditorium. The motion carried.
7. Community comments: Nancy Zapalac asked to speak to the board concerning a new bus stop that had been previously denied. The bus stop had been denied earlier because of the walking-distance rules the state has set up. Also, there is a crosswalk and a sidewalk at the location of an existing bus stop. Nancy explained the traffic had increased considerably, with most of the increase being large work trucks and many were not obeying the speed-limit signs. After considerable discussion, Jack Sims made a motion to approve a new bus stop south of LaBarge at the junction of the Calpet Road and Highway 189. Bill Krieger seconded the motion. The motion carried.
8. Adjournment: A motion was made by Bill Krieger and seconded by Jack Sims to adjourn the regular meeting of the board of trustees. The motion carried. Time: 8 p.m.
