Controversy

In October 2013, the coach of the Pocatello High School girls basketball team, Laraine Cook, was fired after the Board decided that a photograph of her, and her fiance Tom Harrison (football coach at the same school), was inappropriate. The image was posted on Cook's Facebook page, and showed Harrison with his left hand over Cook's right breast; both were clothed. The image was taken at a Cook family gathering several months earlier. Cook was dismissed on 23 October, several days after the image was supplied to the Board by a person unknown; but, Harrison was reprimanded. Despite the representations of parents of the basketball team to Superintendent Mary Vagner, District 25 Director of Secondary Education Bob Devine, and District 25 Director of Human Resources Douglas Howell, the matter was not cleared up as the team went into important games.[30] [31] In early November 2013, District 25 officials went further, seeking to have Cook’s state teaching certificate revoked based on the grounds of immorality, furthering a perception of double standard and that the punishment failed to fit the offense.[32] [33]

Arbitration in the matter led to Cook being rehired in both positions, along with a recommendation that the district develop social media guidelines for employees. The relevant state credentialing agency found no reason to revoke Cook's teaching certificate.[34]

In 2006, two Pocatello High School Students murdered their classmate, and the victim's family filed a lawsuit against the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District. However, the district did not see the two students as abnormal or a threat to anyone.
