After an executive session on personnel and labor matters, the New Plymouth School District board voted unanimously May 26 to hire Brody vonBrethorst as elementary principal and to approve a one-year contract.
The Board of Trustees of New Plymouth School District #372 voted unanimously May 26 to hire Brody vonBrethorst as the district’s elementary principal and to approve a one-year contract, the meeting minutes state.
The action followed a closed executive session held under Idaho Code Section 74-206(1)(a) for personnel deliberations and I.C. 74-206(1)(j) for labor contract matters.

The hire was reported aloud as the formal outcome immediately after the board returned to public session at 8:15 p.m. The record shows the board recessed into executive session at 6:35 p.m. and reconvened at 8:15 p.m.
Board members listed in attendance for the vote were Lane Austin (Chair), Doug Rupp (Vice Chairman), Jared Kovick (Trustee), Jeremy Howard (Trustee), and Matt Cox (Trustee). The minutes identify Superintendent Wade Wilson and Clerk Shannon Reece as present. The meeting adjourned at 8:16 p.m.
