James Guerrero, president and CEO of JG Consulting, summarized community engagement efforts: internal meetings with administrators, teachers, maintenance, counselors and students; external outreach with Holloman Air Force Base liaison, local elected officials and business leaders; and a public town hall that drew about 39 virtual participants and roughly 20–25 in‑person attendees. Guerrero said the survey results favored a community‑minded, experienced educator who is visible and able to make difficult decisions when necessary.

The board approved the leadership profile and authorized the consultant to post the job and open the application portal. Guerrero proposed a 30‑day application period opening the portal the day after the meeting, which would set a Friday, March 21 application deadline. The board tentatively scheduled candidate review the week after spring break, with preliminary interview windows the week of April 9–10 and final round interviews the week of April 14; the board discussed using its April 16 regular meeting for a formal announcement if that timing aligns with counsel’s guidance.

Guerrero described the firm’s screening practices: application materials, a pre‑recorded on‑demand interview, third‑party background checks and data verification of candidates’ prior academic outcomes. The board and consultant agreed to keep the public survey open while recruitment proceeds; the consultant committed to weekly progress updates to the board by close of business Fridays.

Board members raised tenure and continuity as priorities; Guerrero noted his firm’s track record and recommended swift recruitment while preserving confidentiality for applicants. The board approved the leadership profile and the recruitment timeline by voice vote with no recorded opposition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","APS Regular Board Meeting February 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","JG Consulting presented a community‑informed leadership profile and timeline.

Board counsel and administration presented a version of the policy shaped by legal guidance and a July 2024 NSBA policy alert. During discussion a board member identified a deleted phrase in the compliance officer paragraph and moved to restore the word “includes,” arguing the sentence was not clear without it. The board voted to approve the Title IX policy with that amendment.

Interim Superintendent Crabtree said legal counsel had reviewed earlier drafts and recommended language that should be in effect. The board adopted the counsel‑recommended version with the single wording change; administration said the revised policy will be published and implemented according to counsel's guidance.

The board did not discuss case details in open session; Title IX policy adoption was an open‑meeting action following legal review.","The board adopted a revised Title IX policy after legal counsel’s review and a late amendment to restore a phrase clarifying the compliance officer's scope.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6320796,"Board adopts updated graduation requirements; members discuss adding personal finance and career readiness options",803,3532000,4335000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2354807-8970700fc17f3b3aa1da023c024e0acf&start=3532&end=4335","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2354807-8970700fc17f3b3aa1da023c024e0acf/thumbnail_3532000.jpg","/articles/6320796/New-Mexico/Board-adopts-updated-graduation-requirements-members-discuss-adding-personal-finance-and-career-readiness-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6320796-9cd484f8652a47aaf38bf97417a6e67e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776223282&Signature=Zt0uuC5yrKfSUZhqUw~o7mFsqKonAwknaI49rTFKotsAcITF~SPTwRwF4HxFmepS1FOaSm5br-M4HJft0vZw8tC-XGkfwH42JNqgE-bJVOSuE7DJHgutGvhJ9FtGSgXydv3QqkERHCI0tj6GFzJGE-LSeQTp3eeYUuuwJH62TzXJNhF4yT6L-lvtbj9XapBqTmAPA6VLyZqjwNJEu5EzHAesGX69s2tlbVZMVuLV2BPmWTUDLLVTiMDiCvj6eZbmKZVfX600jmKgfhEg~xANbjkn~D84O6qcFmy2nEMu4NaFuFi7FEK2X2AwOqrfAQy4pvJhklXg5iKpEQxBHCar4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alamogordo — The Alamogordo Public Schools Board of Education voted to adopt updated graduation requirements and spent the following discussion considering which local elective credits should be specified in district regulation for students entering ninth grade next year.

Interim Superintendent Crabtree and high‑school staff presented the updated policy language and said the changes were intended to move dated 2019 language into current board policy while allowing future changes to be made in regulation rather than the policy itself. The board voted to adopt the updated policy (board policy I‑7350) and then discussed regulation options to implement the requirements for the freshman cohort.

Consultants and counselors described a proposed two‑credit pathway that would include a personal and business finance sequence. Several board members supported including personal financial literacy, arguing students benefit from practical budgeting and credit education. One member said, “Everybody needs to have financial planning skills ... how to succeed, make a budget, plan for their future, save, understand credit scores.”

Board members and staff noted constraints and unintended consequences if a required course were to replace math or other college‑admissions prerequisites. Interim Superintendent Crabtree and the counseling team cautioned that certain colleges and athletic‑eligibility rules (NCAA/NAIA) require specific math sequences; the district will ensure that mandated electives would not prevent advanced students from meeting those requirements.

The board did not finalize implementing regulations at the meeting; members asked administration and counselors to draft regulation language for March, with a goal of finalizing elective choices in time for master‑schedule planning. The policy will take effect for students who become ninth graders next school year.","The board adopted a revised graduation policy that will apply to incoming ninth graders and discussed local regulation choices including a two‑credit option focusing on personal and business finance and a possible career‑readiness elective.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6320800,"District honors students and staff: spelling bee, literacy awards, attendance and athletics recognized",262,313000,575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2354807-8970700fc17f3b3aa1da023c024e0acf&start=313&end=575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2354807-8970700fc17f3b3aa1da023c024e0acf/thumbnail_313000.jpg","/articles/6320800/New-Mexico/District-honors-students-and-staff-spelling-bee-literacy-awards-attendance-and-athletics-recognized","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6320800-58c5cb4b678b4995c5cd778078bccb04/orig.mp4?Expires=1776223282&Signature=X~xzWHuBOl5mVMCQDGvNZ6zqpw5yUkSNrUCOaDEiN7p7ZlqUhHHXLpqyOs-HS9ED0p7cSjnPq1KJN7PDZm7Vk1NE8kz8a0r~~rPIEfqLThgCHaMXthD908rYsE-Qcm-SAhw1KkK8j~NG5rqdRWySB0GQSG7KEJ7hl3Zo9wUJXLdHAdC8FZFB9HLLf3-s-aUK3Ml3dTuPHEFQtaJBr6CDv7Awi-3lmgqMOrhodukiHAbw5ZTqL1ZsH1micAPEimtTeO5aGHVG60nvHkSOy8qJSVEPFbwe73ZcdkL1xTTbPmRhjnj6LmXjqkNY5utJnGTWPZvBlZ-dtiRaOfEmwVuRog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alamogordo — The board opened its regular February meeting with a series of recognitions spotlighting student academic and extracurricular achievements from across the district.

Mountain View Middle School principal Leah Boyle presented winners from the district spelling bee: Xavier Klum (third, Holloman Middle School), Riley Fortenberry (second, Holloman Middle School) and Crystal Flores (first, Mountain View Middle School). Boyle said Crystal has advanced to the final round of the El Paso ISD Education Foundation regional spelling bee after qualifying through the regional online test, where 97 students participated and 39 advanced.

Curriculum and instruction coordinator Deborah Rotland announced literacy awards. Buena Vista earned the Istation Rising Star Award with an average increase of 11.6 points per student. Mountain View Middle School’s sixth‑grade team received the Lexia Learning Leaders School Award with an average gain of 18 units per student. Rotland read several individual student achievements, including completion of the Lexia program by Ivory Swan.

Attendance awards highlighted schools that reduced chronic absenteeism. Charles Serpant, attendance/truancy officer, said Desert Star Elementary lowered its critical‑tier absence rate from around 20–30% to 8.83%. Holloman Middle School held the title for best secondary school attendance, and Chaparral Middle School was recognized as most improved secondary school.

Director of athletics Alan Anderson recognized winter sport athletes and teams across multiple disciplines. Highlights included Tia Gordon, who averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds and has college plans; the girls basketball team’s strong GPA; several state‑qualifying wrestlers and swimmers; and senior leaders from the cheer team. Anderson emphasized athletic performance and leadership in classrooms and communities.

Student ex‑officio Abigail Anderson also reported recent school successes: the AstroVikings robotics team won at Albuquerque and will advance to world competition, the Tiger Band hosted a fifth‑grade extravaganza, and the AHS cheer and powerlifting teams placed in recent contests.

The recognitions were largely ceremonial; the board thanked students, staff and families before moving on to policy and business items.","The board meeting featured multiple school recognitions: district spelling bee winners, Istation and Lexia awards, attendance improvements at several campuses, and winter sports and extracurricular athlete honors.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6320805,"Board approves agenda, travel, policies and search timeline in February meeting",8229,243000,8472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2354807-8970700fc17f3b3aa1da023c024e0acf&start=243&end=8472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2354807-8970700fc17f3b3aa1da023c024e0acf/thumbnail_243000.jpg","/articles/6320805/New-Mexico/Board-approves-agenda-travel-policies-and-search-timeline-in-February-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6320805-fad6befa62de8096d7eedcdd99a2c458/orig.mp4?Expires=1776223282&Signature=RUKe7IDhF-i3WntMC3T5Ublymf1gUdh9BMNi9u68FcKYKeAHpu3031NB5i0FH~6QjhswOPYyfw8Y9j3Rxd5DE-NhH3VJPCiYmBR6SZVLVsMVWIxZHjVs6yakIV3tCpfDzUISECsk~-y5ZndOj9jZeE66x7I5ya31qzfRrbzW0m3DcdO3zt7FuOBjku3XkdrJYDeTsz6dD~rAlKx6AYKEAtH79N61oU0nH~k9x4muGSJcLTCZ-57i8LJrwhPD0BW76EWf0DWVYuBVeBkeWTuCGNSRyTjD5pyKJ3MbaKLQ1qBWg9HJ~wnAILnhn2EnwO0MLbbZP~zr1M93kFJjnPBoYg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alamogordo — At its regular February meeting the Alamogordo Public Schools Board of Education approved a series of routine and substantive items, including adoption of the meeting agenda, approval of minutes, several out‑of‑state travel requests, updates to board policy on graduation requirements and Title IX, and the leadership profile and recruitment timeline for a superintendent search.

The board adopted the meeting agenda and approved the Jan. 15, 2025 meeting minutes by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The consent agenda — which included donations totaling $8,107.72 and the accounts payable listing — also passed with no objection.

On personnel and program items, the board approved an out‑of‑state travel request for Alamogordo High School Business Professionals of America (BPA) to attend the national conference in Kissimmee, Florida, May 7–11. A separate notification that the AstroVikings robotics club planned an out‑of‑state trip to Texas was discussed as a notification rather than an action item.

The board appointed two members to the district project oversight committee — Shannon Wright and Member McMurray — and adopted updated graduation requirements (board policy I-7350) that will apply to incoming ninth‑grade students. The board also approved a revised Title IX policy after a late amendment to retain language concerning the compliance officer’s scope in the policy text.

The board approved Resolution 24‑25‑06 authorizing sale or disposal of obsolete district property, primarily from the administration gym cleanout, and accepted the final leadership profile prepared by JG Consulting to open the superintendent search. The job posting and recruitment timeline were also approved; the board set an application deadline and agreed on preliminary interview windows for April (see the superintendent search article for schedule details).

In executive session the board discussed a pending special‑education due process complaint and limited personnel matters; after reconvening the board authorized legal counsel and the interim superintendent to proceed with legal strategy, including possible settlement, in the matter referenced as Student v. Alamogordo Public Schools.

No recorded vote tallies were provided in the public transcript; motions were carried by voice vote with multiple instances of “hearing no opposition” recorded.","Alamogordo Public Schools board approved the meeting agenda, minutes, several out-of-state travel requests, board policy updates including new graduation requirements and a revised Title IX policy, appointed members to an oversight committee, and authorized the superintendent search timeline and job posting.","actionData","errors"]
