(Lander, WY) – Scott Jensen has committed nearly his entire adult life to public service. He has proudly served our country and our community. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army and has served as a law enforcement officer for the past 19 years. Scott has been serving on the FCSD#1 Board of Trustees for the last five years. All of his seven children have attended schools in Lander, with three currently in middle school and two at LVHS. Scott is a principled conservative who is deeply invested in the success of our schools. His unique life experience makes him a valuable member of the FCSD#1 school board and a powerful advocate for our community and our children. Here are just a few of his accomplishments from his 5 years of service on the school board:
– Covid Response: Ensured our schools opened and masks came off as soon as possible. When so many schools across the country remained closed during Covid, causing irreparable harm to kids, our schools opened and remained opened.
– Support for Higher Teacher / Staff Pay: Supported one time bonuses for staff with Covid relief funds and has consistently supported an increase in base pay.
– Implemented Conceal Carry for Qualified Staff: Made sure our district’s conceal carry policy was implemented in our schools. This has greatly increased our readiness and ability to respond.
– Controversial Speech Policy: Prohibits staff from proselytizing to students personal political, religious, or ideological beliefs. Ensures parents can trust our schools’ focus is on the approved curriculum.
– Library and Materials policy: Created a transparent process whereby concerned stakeholders can seek redress for inappropriate materials / books in our schools. The process is open and public so that all concerned parties can know and understand what material has been removed or will stay in place and why.
– Transportation: Ensuring parents are empowered to decide who can transport their child to and from activities.
– Parental Rights: Codifies a parent’s right to be informed and empowered to make decisions about their child’s education, health, and welfare
– Drug Free Activities: In response to a dramatic rise in students bringing drugs into our schools and / or being intoxicated in school, a drug testing policy has taken effect this school year for students involved in extracurricular activities.
