Trustees elect Russ Suchan chair and appoint Andersen, Kent, Tibbitts to leadership posts
Summary
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Minidoka County Joint School District Board approved a slate of board officers: Russ Suchan as chair, Mary Andersen as vice chair, Daryl Kent as treasurer and Kerri Tibbitts as clerk. Each appointment passed by board vote.
The Minidoka County Joint School District Board of Trustees selected new leadership at its Jan. 27 regular meeting in Rupert, approving four officer appointments and formalizing administrative authorizations for the coming year.
Trustee Claridge nominated Russ Suchan for board chair; the nomination was seconded and the board voted to approve Suchan as chair. Trustee Claridge then nominated Mary Andersen as vice chair; the board approved Andersen. The trustees also appointed Daryl Kent as treasurer and Kerri Tibbitts as board clerk, each by motion and second.
The votes followed brief procedural motions recorded in the meeting minutes. Trustee Claridge moved and Vice Chair Andersen seconded the motion to hold the officer elections; subsequent approval motions were made and carried without roll-call controversy.
The newly elected officers will carry standard responsibilities for scheduling and financial oversight, including the treasurer role that the board formally assigned to Kent during the meeting. The actions were recorded in the official minutes and reflected in the meeting’s consent actions.
The board proceeded from the elections to other agenda items, including approval of the consent agenda and a package of administrative actions.
Speakers: Trustee Claridge (nominator), Russ Suchan (accepted nomination), Mary Andersen, Daryl Kent, Kerri Tibbitts. The board did not refuse any officer nominations or record any dissenting votes in the minutes.
Next step: The board’s appointments are reflected in the official minutes and will govern officer duties until the board’s next reorganization or until an officer change is proposed.
