RE-1 Valley to administer District 4 director oath at Jan. 29 session

The RE-1 Valley School District is scheduled to administer a ceremonial oath of office for a newly appointed District 4 director during a special work session Jan. 29. The meeting agenda posted for the session lists a “CEREMONIAL OATH OF OFFICE” under item 3.1, but the supplied agenda fragment is truncated and does not include the appointee’s name or the full wording of the oath.

The agenda fragment provided to this news outlet also shows standard opening items: 1.1 Pledge of Allegiance and 1.2 Call to Order by the President and Roll Call. The public participation section is explicit: “Each participant will be allotted three minutes to speak.” No meeting start time, meeting location, or roster of board members appears in the supplied text.

A change in board membership can alter voting margins on budgets, hiring and curriculum matters, and local school policies that directly affect families in Logan County. With the District 4 seat now described as newly appointed, residents in that trustee district can expect the new director to participate in future board decisions that touch classroom staffing, facility projects and district spending priorities.

Practical details for residents seeking more information are available from the district. RE-1 Valley’s address is 301 Hagen St, Sterling, CO 80751, and the district lists Telephone No. 970-522-0792. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The district website includes sections labeled Financial Transparency, Infinite Campus and Safe2Tell, and a non‑discrimination statement noting that RE-1 Valley does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, religion, ancestry, need for special education services, age, genetic information or conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. The designated contact for non‑discrimination inquiries is the Director of Student Services or the Assistant Superintendent at the Sterling address and telephone number listed above.

Because the public agenda text available to this outlet is truncated at item 3.1 (“3.1. Administration of t”), the district has not provided the name of the person to be sworn in or the full agenda language in the materials reviewed here. Residents who want to attend the session, speak during the public participation period or request the complete agenda and meeting packet should contact the district office at 970-522-0792 or visit 301 Hagen St during office hours. The oath and the new director’s role on board decisions will be key to watch as the district moves into its next budgeting and policy cycles.
