Senate Education Committee forwards Lisa Paulus nomination to Idaho Public Charter School Commission with 'do pass' recommendation

At a meeting of the Idaho Senate Education Committee in Boise, members voted to send the gubernatorial appointment of Lisa Paulus to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission to the full Senate with a "do pass" recommendation.

The recommendation was moved by Senator Carlson and seconded by Senator Cook. Committee discussion included a technical correction to the motion to name the Idaho Public Charter School Commission specifically rather than the Board of Education. After the corrected motion was offered, the committee approved it by voice vote; no recorded opposition was shown in the transcript and no roll-call tally was provided.

The committee chair, Senator Lent, opened the item by noting Paulus had previously appeared before the panel. After the motion and seconder, Senators offered no further substantive debate before the voice vote.

The committee’s vote forwards the nomination to the full Senate, which will consider confirmation on the Senate floor. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or any recorded no votes for this committee action.
