Moscow — At its Jan. 22, 2025, annual meeting the Moscow School District Board of Trustees elected Kenneth E. Font to serve as board chair for 2025–26 and named Brian P. Kennedy vice chair, then approved a slate of annual administrative appointments and signatory authorities.

The board unanimously appointed Angela Packard as clerk and custodian of records, Jennifer A. Johnson as treasurer, and Sean C. Teague as assistant clerk, assistant custodian of records and assistant treasurer. Trustees also designated the district administrative office, Moscow Middle School and Moscow High School as the three public posting locations for written notices and set the regular meeting schedule for 2025 (fourth Wednesday each month at 7 p.m. with specified exceptions), with the revised budget hearing scheduled for June 24, 2025, at 7 p.m. All listed motions were adopted by voice vote, recorded as passing 5–0.

In related actions the board authorized the chair, superintendent and business manager (and, in the chair’s absence, the vice chair) to sign district documents, contracts and grant applications. Trustees also authorized the chair, vice chair, business manager and superintendent as signers on the district’s financial accounts and approved deposit of district funds in the Idaho State Local Government Investment Pool or other institutions authorized under Idaho Code 67-1210. Those motions were adopted 5–0.

The appointments and authorizations establish the district’s administrative and fiscal clearance for the coming year and reflect statutory procedures cited at the meeting (Idaho Code §§ 33-506 and 33-510 for annual meeting procedures). The board concluded the official business portion of the meeting before moving to reports and discussion items.
