NCSD Board of Trustees Meeting - March 9, 2026

The Natrona County School District Board of Trustees held a meeting on March 9, 2026, which included celebratory recognitions of student achievements such as state championships by the Kelly Walsh High School dance team and community service efforts by Key Club members. Public comments focused notably on concerns regarding the district's contract with LifeTouch, a national photography vendor, highlighting issues about data security and ethical considerations tied to the vendor's corporate ownership. Several parents advocated for the district to consider local photographers through a request for proposal process to better align with community values and ensure student privacy. The board approved consent agenda items including bids for custodial supplies, replacement dump trucks, and a dust collector for the Pathways Innovation Center, with one trustee abstaining from the custodial supplies vote due to a conflict of interest. Additionally, the board approved the renewal of Midwest High School's alternative schedule. Trustees expressed a commitment to transparency in contracting and vendor selection processes, emphasizing the importance of student safety and community engagement in procurement decisions.
