At its March meeting, the Pocatello School District 25 Board of Trustees approved a series of motions by voice vote covering curriculum, grants, procurement and miscellaneous routine business.
Key approvals included adoption of Studies Weekly for fifth‑grade social studies (estimated cost $53,000–$57,000 including professional development), submission of the 2024–2025 Head Start grant application (board noted an addendum changing the non‑federal share waiver from 75% to 70%), and authorization of early‑graduation requests.
On procurement, the board awarded three bids: carpet and Cove‑base work to Wall‑to‑All Flooring (carpet projects), four food‑service delivery box trucks (lowest responsive bidder Conos, Jerome, ID; total $344,500) and VCT tile work to Wall‑to‑All Flooring (district noted the tile bid of $867,843.18 across multiple sites). The food‑service trucks will be funded from Food Service funds and require state capital‑expenditure approval; the district said pre‑approval paperwork will be submitted to the state food‑service department.
The board also approved overnight/out‑of‑state travel requests (Robotics and FCCLA), the New Horizon School 2024–25 calendar, multiple camp requests for summer programs, acceptance of a six‑year sponsorship agreement with Advantage Plus Federal Credit Union for scoreboards, and authorization for summer use of district football equipment by IHSAA‑approved teams.
Where recorded, votes were taken by voice; the transcript records motions, seconds and the phrase "this motion passed" but does not list roll‑call tallies for those items.
