Board hires Andy Swenson as New Plymouth head baseball coach
Summary
The New Plymouth School District Board voted Jan. 26, 2026, to hire Andy Swenson as head baseball coach after an earlier attempt to retain Tyson Flannery failed; the hiring followed two executive sessions held under Idaho personnel law.
The Board of Trustees of New Plymouth School District #372 voted on Jan. 26, 2026, to hire Andy Swenson as the district’s head baseball coach. "A motion was made by Jeremy Howard and seconded by Matt Cox to hire Andy Swenson as the head baseball coach," the minutes record. The motion passed by a show-of-hands vote with Matt Cox and Jeremy Howard voting yes and Doug Rupp abstaining; Trustee Jared Kovick had earlier recused himself from coach-related votes due to a reported conflict of interest.
The vote came after two executive sessions under Section 74-206(1)(a) (personnel) during which candidates were evaluated. The board had first considered retaining incumbent Tyson Flannery but that retention motion later failed when the board returned to public session. No effective date for Swenson’s hiring was specified in the minutes. The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
