District Update
April 25, 2023
Threat Assessments
Due to a recent article in the Lander Journal alleging past threats of violence against the school not being addressed, I want to remind our parents, students, staff, and community that the district does indeed take all threats seriously. Administrators and other staff members have been trained in threat assessment protocols and spend considerable time investigating any and all threats, including the incident mentioned in the newspaper article. There are times when evidence is non-existent, contradictory, or limited regarding a threat. At all times, administrators must rely on facts and evidence when investigating these matters and not rumors and/or assumptions. There are times when information may be shared and others where privacy laws do not enable the sharing of information that may identify a student or students. FCSD#1 takes the safety and security of our students and staff seriously and will continue to do so.

Math and Science Standards Public Input
Public comment on the Proposed 2023 Wyoming Math and Science Performance Standards is being collected until May 11, 2023, at 11:59 p.m.
The Wyoming State Board of Education (SBE) resolved to reduce the standards load and enact an audit of the Math and Science Standards first. Input was also collected from school districts, and a Curriculum Directors’ Advisory Committee reviewed the work of the audit committee and the input from districts to make a final recommendation to the SBE. The SBE passed a motion to collect public and educator input on the proposed 2023 Wyoming Math and Science Standards at its February 24, 2023, meeting.
- Complete the Math and Science Input Survey by 11:59 p.m. on May 11, 2023.
