# LCSD1 Board of Trustees Meeting - October 19, 2026

The Laramie County School District 1 Board of Trustees’ regular meeting on October 19, 2026, included charter renewal presentations from Poder Academy Elementary and Poder Academy Secondary (Pathways). The presentations covered academic performance, finances, staffing, facilities, and plans for the next charter term. The board did not vote on renewals during the meeting; if renewals are approved after the review process, the district and schools will negotiate contracts for later board consideration. The Cheyenne Schools Foundation also presented seven teacher grants totaling $22,939.69, expected to benefit more than 2,333 students, and recognized schools for Run for Number One fundraising participation.

The board approved a motion authorizing the purchase of 72 science tables for McCormick Junior High School from William Peterson and Associates for an amount not to exceed $103,113. Staff explained that the tables would be funded from the district’s equipment reserve, since fixtures, furniture, and equipment allocations are generally provided for major capital construction projects rather than renovations. The consent agenda was also approved, but the transcript does not detail its items. No other procurement decisions were identified.
