Board holds executive session on personnel and evaluation, then tables superintendent contract decision
Summary
After a closed executive session to discuss personnel matters and the superintendent's evaluation, the Snake River School Board returned to open session and moved to table a decision on Superintendent Mark Kress's 2026–27 contract; the minutes do not record a vote on the tabling motion.
The Snake River School Board met in executive session May 20 under Idaho Code 74-206 subsections (1)(a), (1)(b) and (1)(d) to consider the superintendent’s evaluation, personnel matters and records exempt from disclosure. Trustees took a roll-call vote to enter executive session and all five trustees voted aye.
The board reported it went into executive session at 7:50 p.m.; Idaho Code 74-206(1)(b) personnel discussion was held until 7:58 p.m., (1)(d) records-exempt discussion continued until 8:30 p.m., and (1)(a) the superintendent evaluation occurred until 9:05 p.m. The board reopened the meeting at 9:05 p.m. and returned to regular session.
After returning to open session, Trustee Carol Hepworth moved and Trustee Larin Mortimer seconded to table a decision about Superintendent Mark Kress’s contract for the 2026–2027 school year. The minutes record the motion was made and seconded but do not report a vote on the tabling motion.
The minutes disclose only the statutory bases for the closed-door discussion and the timing; they do not provide additional details about the personnel issues or the substance of the superintendent evaluation, consistent with the statutory exemptions cited in the motion to enter executive session.
