Summary
At a Senate Education Committee meeting, members approved January 13 minutes, approved the governor's reappointment of Kurt Liebeck to the Idaho State Board of Education, and voted to print RS31894, a cleanup bill about school board public-comment rules.
The Idaho Senate Education Committee approved its Jan. 13, 2025, minutes, voted to recommend the governor's reappointment of Kurt Liebeck to the Idaho State Board of Education and approved printing RS31894, a bill described by its sponsor as a cleanup measure related to school board public-comment procedures.
Committee Chair (unnamed) called the meeting to order and Senator Woodward moved to approve the minutes of Jan. 13, 2025. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.
The committee then considered the governor's reappointment of Kurt Liebeck to the Idaho State Board of Education. The chair said Liebeck had met with the committee and with individual members prior to the meeting. Senator Woodward moved to approve the reappointment; Senator Ward Engelking seconded. With no further discussion on the floor, the committee approved the reappointment by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.
Later in the meeting Senator Cindy Carlson presented RS31894, which she described as a cleanup bill tied to legislation from the previous year that placed parameters on public comments at local school board meetings. Carlson said the draft would remove a sentence from last year’s bill to "clear it up." Senator Woodward moved that the committee print RS31894 for further consideration; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
All three measures were handled by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. The committee adjourned and said it plans to meet Monday at 3:00 p.m.
