Idaho School Owners Association 

Past School Owner’s President J.R. Scholes reported that Peggy Foster is the new School Owner’s Association President.   

Mr. Scholes brought up issues on how the schools are dealing with instructors once they have completed their student instructing and continue working in the school to get any required experience.  Mr. Hetrick advised that the Board has allowed such practice because the person is licensed and works as a “tool” of an instructor, however, that the person does not count toward the instructor/student ratio.  

The board asked that Carl and bureau staff review the issue of student instructors obtaining the required work experience in a school. 

Mr. Scholes addressed the Board on a meeting the association held over the weekend on the R-41 and certificate of graduation.  Discussion was held on rule 200.  Bureau staff noted that there has not been an issue concerning the certificate of graduation. Mr. Scholes asked that the Board approve an acceptable form for the certificate, to aid the schools in complying with the requirements. The board asked that Carl Ericson and Bureau staff develop a model certificate of graduation for Board approval. 

Kirby Morris, President of the National Interstate Council of Boards of Cosmetology, recommended that the Idaho Board report all law and rule violations by schools to NACAAS, because of the Boards relation to NACAAS and the industry.  Christy Stutzke says the board will make the policy from this day forward to report violations to NACAAS.   

Ms. Jacobsen reported on the new Board Conference room and the cost savings of having the new space. Representative Max Black was introduced.  Ms. Jacobsen advised the Board of the Bureau’s ability to print the wall certificates in house.  She also reviewed the proposed legislation that will allow annual license renewals on the licensee’s birthday. If successful, such renewals will become effective on July 1 of 2003.  The license system will automatically pro-rate how much is owed for renewals.  New licenses will also be pro rated.    

Kim Aksamit was introduced to the audience as the new Bureau Office Specialist II assigned to the Board. 

Budd Hetrick distributed the financial report.  Discussion was held.  The investigation report will be made available at a later date.  He also reviewed the new renewal system that will allow licensees to renew licenses on line with a credit card.  This option will be available in November.  

Motion by Ms. Martin, seconded by Ms. Thompson, and passed to approve the minutes of June 3, 2002 as corrected.  

Break for 15 minutes 

Darby Palmer, from Wyoming, presented information to the Board concerning her request that her Massage Therapy training be counted towards the Cosmetology requirements for Idaho licensure.  Massage Therapy is not regulated in Idaho.  The Board advised Ms. Palmer that the regulations did not allow for such training to be considered for licensure.
