Regular Board Meeting - November 18, 2025

The Mountain Home School District #193 held its regular board meeting on November 18, 2025. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a new auditing firm, Quest CPAs, for the fiscal year 2026 audit, which was projected to save the district approximately $20,000 compared to the previous auditor's fees. The board also approved joining a nationwide class action lawsuit against PowerSchool related to a data breach, which may help mitigate ongoing issues from the breach. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved several policy updates, including grievance policies and public participation policies, transitioning to the Idaho School Boards Association (ISBA) format to align with statewide standards. There was also mention of an offer from the Mountain Home Lions Club to purchase vision and hearing screening machines for the schools, although the district had declined the offer at this time. No other direct contract awards or capital improvement projects were discussed during the meeting.
