A. Policies and Administrative Regulations
Notice of Intent to Adopt Policy
These policies are proposed to amend, repeal, and conform current District policies to align with House Bill 172, enrolled as Act No. 24, House of Representatives of the Sixty-Eighth Legislature. That Bill made it legal for non-students holding a valid conceal carry permit to concealed carry on District property. It permits Districts to create rules regarding employees concealed carrying on District property.
These proposed policies exceed the minimum substantive state statutory requirements and are proposed to protect our students’ health, safety, and welfare and to ensure that those of our employees concealed carrying in our District are as safe and qualified to carry as reasonably possible. The policies and corresponding procedures are available at the District’s main office at 1000 West 8th Street, Gillette, Wyoming, and will be available for public comment during a 45-day review period. The policies will be reviewed for final approval at the July 16th Board of Trustees meeting, which will start at 6:00 p.m.
- Mr. Eisenhauer will present first reading revisions to Policy 4341 Personnel Authorized to Carry Concealed Firearms, 4341-R Section 1, Applicability & Limitations; 4341-R Section 2, Holster Concealed Biometric Container, or Lockbox Requirements for Concealed Carry, 4341-R Section 3, Mandatory Drug & Alcohol Testing, 4341-R Section 4-Training Requirements, 4341-R Section 5, Ammunition Requirements, and 4341 Form- Concealed Carry Firearm or Holster Change Order, and request approval.
