Brook Taylor, the former chairwoman of the Nampa school board, has resigned from her position. Taylor, who was reelected for a second term in November, cited new professional opportunities as the reason for her resignation.
In a letter to the school board, Taylor expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve and praised the district’s administrators, teachers, and staff for their dedication to the students. She also acknowledged the challenges the district faced during her tenure, including a strained budget and tense contract negotiations.
Background
Taylor was first elected to the school board in 2021, campaigning against Critical Race Theory and mask mandates. During her time on the board, the district adopted a four-day schedule, and she served as chairwoman from 2023 to 2025.
The school board will appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of Taylor’s term, which was set to expire in 2029. The application deadline for the vacant position is September 4.
