Votes at a glance: board approves revised budget, adopts voucher opposition resolution and OKs contracts and new courses
Summary
At its Feb. 26 meeting the Moscow School District Board of Trustees approved the revised 2024–25 budget, adopted a resolution opposing state school vouchers, awarded a fuel bid, approved two new course proposals and accepted the consent agenda.
The Moscow School District Board of Trustees recorded several formal actions and approvals during its Feb. 26 meeting. Key motions and outcomes are listed below.
Revised 2024–25 budget The board adopted the revised 2024–25 budget following a public hearing and a staff presentation. The motion to approve the revised budget passed by voice vote with trustees present at the meeting voting in the affirmative.
Resolution opposing school vouchers Trustees adopted a resolution opposing diversion of public funds to private school vouchers. The resolution cites the Idaho Constitution’s obligations to provide public education and asks state legislators and policymakers to uphold equitable public funding. The motion passed by board vote.
Fuel procurement: Coleman Oil The board authorized accepting a single bid received from Coleman Oil for diesel and gasoline to serve the district’s bus fleet and district vehicles for the period beginning March 1, 2025, through Feb. 28, 2026, and approved the award as recommended in the procurement report. The bid was the only responsive proposal the district received and the board approved moving forward with Coleman Oil.
New curricular changes and course approvals - PE All Stars (students with special needs, at the high school level): The board approved a curricular program change to add a PE All Stars offering for special‑needs students at the high school. - Introduction to Public Safety (Moscow High School): The board approved a new course that provides students with introductory exposure to public safety roles and basic certifications (CPR/first aid), intended as a building block toward possible future EMT or public‑safety pathways.
Consent agenda and routine approvals The board approved the consent agenda (personnel items, minutes, and other routine business) as presented.
How votes were recorded The transcript records unanimous voice approvals for the motions recorded during the meeting with the trustees present. The meeting began with a note that four trustees were present.
Why it matters: These votes move district operations forward (budget adoption, contract award, curriculum additions) and set a public policy position on state‑level voucher proposals.
Where to find more information: The district posts meeting minutes and procurement backup documentation; curriculum proposals are available through the district curriculum office.
