Superintendent Ybarra’s schedule: March 25-29

State superintendent Sherri Ybarra’s schedule this week is heavy with placeholders.

House and Senate education committee meetings make up most of the items on the schedule. But as the Legislature wraps up its work for the year, perhaps this week, committees are closing down for the year. For example, House Education will hold a Monday meeting, but Senate Education has no meeting scheduled.

The only other items on her calendar are meetings Monday, and Ybarra will apparently take part remotely.

Spokesman Scott Phillips said Ybarra is out of the area Monday and Tuesday, “working with our team via phone and tuning in to hearings broadcast by Idaho Public Television via livestream as needed for (State Department of Education) business.”

As for the legislative committee meetings, Phillips said these will remain on her calendar until the session adjourns.

Here is the superintendent’s schedule, released Monday morning:
