Good morning, Cheyenne.

After a board vote, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association is planning to move its operations to Cheyenne, with officials expected to announce further steps in coming weeks.

At its Monday meeting, the LCSD1 board honored district achievements by naming Triumph High’s Saphearya Brownson Student of the Week, celebrating Sunrise Elementary’s Level 2 High Reliability School Certification, and recognizing Central High principal Karen Delbridge and Transportation employee Sara Vialpando for their contributions (including early snow removal efforts).

LCSD1 officials recommended Pershing Boulevard as the new boundary for Deming Elementary students displaced by the school closure, assigning north-zone students to Davis and south-zone students to Pioneer Park & allowing families to choose the alternative school.

This change aims to keep enrollment balanced.

District officials warned Monday that a proposed state education funding bill will force LCSD1 to cut 143 positions and hit a $6.2M shortfall as student-teacher ratios rise; the changes take effect July 1 (with a state health insurance mandate starting in 2027).

On Monday, Oct. 21, the LCSD1 Board approved over $2.2M in spending, including an $89,100 fire alarm contract with Simpson Electric and a software renewal with Tyler Technologies to support payroll and HR — it also allowed students to fundraise for a national convention in Tampa Bay starting Feb. 26.

Wyoming wildlife officials ended the decades-long sage grouse volunteer programs, citing funding changes and evolving conservation strategies—state leaders now plan an annual summit and new public input opportunities to guide future efforts.

Cheyenne has recorded only 7.5 inches of snow so far, the lowest start in 60 years, while forecasts predict warmer temperatures + breezy winds for the coming days.

Wyoming’s population grew to 588,753 in July 2025 (an increase of 2,031 residents) as domestic migration drove growth while natural increase added fewer than 400 people.

LCCC Health Sciences student Tosha Cox performed CPR on a collapsing coworker at a local credit union just days before Thanksgiving, and Cheyenne Fire Rescue arrived at Meridian Trust & her quick actions were credited with saving the life.

KWHS dance team won state titles in Hip Hop and Jazz while the cheer squad finished second in both Game Day and All Girl divisions at the Wyoming State Spirit Competition on Friday (official results confirmed their achievement).
