Summary
The Idaho Senate Education Committee approved minutes from Jan. 20 and Jan. 21, 2025, and voted to send the governor's reappointment of Sherilyn Baer to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission to the full Senate with a "do pass" recommendation.
At the Idaho Senate Education Committee meeting on Jan. 22, 2025, members approved committee minutes for Jan. 20 and Jan. 21 and advanced the governor's reappointment of Sherilyn Baer to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission to the full Senate with a due-pass recommendation.
The committee first approved minutes from Jan. 20 and Jan. 21, 2025, by voice vote after motions to adopt were moved and seconded. Chairman Lent called for the ayes and no roll-call vote was recorded.
Senator Carlson moved to send the gubernatorial reappointment of Sherilyn Baer to the Idaho Public Charter School Commission to the Senate floor with a "do pass" recommendation. The motion was seconded; after brief clarification about the destination of the motion, the committee voted by voice. "Seeing none, all in favor, aye," Chairman Lent said. The motion was advanced to the full Senate with the committee's recommendation.
