Senate Education committee forwards Lisa Paulus nomination to Idaho Public Charter School Commission
Summary
The Senate Education Committee voted to send the governor’s nomination of Lisa Paulus to the Senate floor with a ‘‘do pass’’ recommendation for the Idaho Public Charter School Commission after a brief correction to the motion’s wording.
The Senate Education Committee on the floor in Boise moved to forward Governor’s nominee Lisa Paulus to the full Senate with a recommendation that she be confirmed to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission.
Senator Carlson moved the nomination, and Senator Cook seconded the motion. Committee members corrected the motion’s wording to name the Idaho Public Charter School Commission. After the corrected motion was restated, the committee passed the motion by voice vote; the clerk recorded ‘‘ayes’’ with no formal roll call taken.
Why it matters: The public-charter commission authorizes and oversees state-authorized charter schools. Sending the nomination to the floor with a due-pass recommendation advances Paulus’s confirmation to the full Senate where a final vote will be scheduled.
What the committee said: Chairman Lindt asked for discussion before the motion; none was offered after the correction. Senator Carlson moved the nomination and Senator Cook seconded. The motion was restated to correct the commission name to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission before the voice vote.
What remains: The committee action was a recommendation only; the full Senate must act to confirm the nomination.
