The auditor said the unmodified opinion indicates the financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with U.S. governmental accounting standards. The single audit included Title I and the Education Stabilization Fund; auditors issued unmodified opinions on compliance for those programs.

The audit report included findings: auditors reported one significant deficiency related to internal control over financial reporting and one other noncompliance finding. In the single audit, auditors reported one significant deficiency related to Title I that staff described as a procedural mismatch expected to be resolvable.

Audit staff noted the report timeline experienced state‑level review delays: fieldwork was completed in October and the district submitted materials to the state by the November deadline, but the state’s review delayed public release until March.

During question and answer, auditors recommended the district follow up on findings and said they would review corrective actions in next year’s audit. Board members asked about the audit committee and the entrance conference process; the auditors and district staff said they would coordinate an entrance conference for the current year’s audit.

Board member Miss Sanchez moved to accept the FY2023‑24 audit report; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

The auditor told the board the firm will continue to assist the district with federal‑grant compliance questions and that the district should implement corrective action on the findings and report back during the next audit cycle.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","RISD Board Meeting May 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Independent auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the Roswell Independent School District’s FY2023‑24 financial statements and unmodified single‑audit opinions for Title I and Education Stabilization Fund programs, while noting a small number of control and compliance findings.","taxTitle","Roswell Independent Schools, School Districts, New Mexico","taxId",14266,"location","New Mexico","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6060248,"High school students present youth risk and resiliency findings, ask school board for retreat to plan responses",157,3559000,3716000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3292931-2768e4ca1d3afbb86f1aed85d57879c1&start=3559&end=3716","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3292931-2768e4ca1d3afbb86f1aed85d57879c1/thumbnail_3559000.jpg","/articles/6060248/New-Mexico/High-school-students-present-youth-risk-and-resiliency-findings-ask-school-board-for-retreat-to-plan-responses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6060248-4291e9b62d69afd67949f03aca05df75/orig.mp4?Expires=1770981630&Signature=ZBtbx7TQgMzwVayjQOHc2e7dJryx1Pnp2gKkRhQXVf-Mgus~1ynEGKNYomDz8k~L~6U5oj9AdrYq9k4zni1unsz2zRBH~v6wxlB3fkGDoHP6SnT5wAtSlMJqwEz2NBN-XVhmTicZLYpm3yhbdaNcXTKseMtNiSAlONKNsOhWhoWSSdmXWdKhQMB8olp3AW1yQudQvh6eAhSe6VosZDZC909kOFHOkqiNAMRgk9owMd4z-dM9Swt5mVjuIi-FHrQiArlbJ8xfMomCYxy-BZwX6w8ZLp0I4VyjNMXyFED~utYZUkaYU7zJ5ElD6KUsdL6bsW7Wb5B6xyFXSSgiwWA60A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Student leaders from Goddard High and Roswell High presented results from the New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey and asked the Roswell Independent School District board to join a retreat where students would present their findings in depth and collaborate on solutions.

Haley Bates, Abby Gil Palma and Sydney Miller of the Goddard team described meetings held since September 2024 to review survey data and said the work identified areas of concern including mental and emotional health, substance use, suicide awareness and prevention, and social influences such as social media.

Natalie Lopez, student body vice president at Roswell High, and Joaquin Belanios (Roswell High student leader) described the RAPS (Risk Assessment Project for Students) program run in collaboration with the University of New Mexico. Adelomari Vasquez, another student presenter, explained that RAPS trains students to analyze Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey data, leads data literacy exercises and suggests youth‑led interventions.

Students proposed specific, student‑driven ideas including an RHS sober‑celebration block party supported by local businesses, a Cayo Pass appointment/scheduling feature built into the school platform to connect students with counseling, and open‑gym weekend events to provide safe, supervised activity space for youth who cannot otherwise afford organized sports. Student presenters said the public dialogue event they hosted showed many adults underestimate the scale and character of the issues facing students.

Board members and administrators praised the presentations. Several board members urged scheduling a half‑day or full‑day retreat so students could present in more depth and the board could provide feedback and direction. Superintendent Luck said staff would work on scheduling; at the end of the night she said the district would circulate possible dates for a special meeting or retreat.

There was no formal vote; the outcome was direction to staff to organize a retreat where students and board members could review the data and discuss follow‑up actions such as community engagement events and possible pilot programs.

The student teams said they had already engaged local partners and requested board participation so the district and community could act on student recommendations.","Student teams from Roswell High and Goddard High presented youth risk and resiliency data to the Roswell Independent School District board and requested a retreat so students and board members can develop collaborative responses to mental health, substance use and social‑media concerns.",{"_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},6060252,"School board approves Parkview three‑year curriculum, board members seek review for federal/state policy alignment",2086,6974000,9060000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3292931-2768e4ca1d3afbb86f1aed85d57879c1&start=6974&end=9060","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3292931-2768e4ca1d3afbb86f1aed85d57879c1/thumbnail_6974000.jpg","/articles/6060252/New-Mexico/School-board-approves-Parkview-threeyear-curriculum-board-members-seek-review-for-federalstate-policy-alignment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6060252-60c8c68a802d268c4c8cf562b0bd4804/orig.mp4?Expires=1770981630&Signature=dhS2JxX99qDdinyQckwYoSLJrgjO6MTKGMfbiJa6MclPW6uD9oMHMSn89AFygpiOhCrzuvJ5EDCN971hOt99Q3fwEwWWK4GJeMhpBBeUHXum0P2t7cj05LrfTLulHIpSj2ay14xe7rz~m0NYCKH1Ea-WUL0M17vK7uKdjLUxbm76mLyKM8eHhbY9xViXiVa5mQoMR55sjY1HFvNa08saW9tGmnv43Es6XW7wDVuOrWTiahE8w1jgMfZ8fgFG6~eWQa~TZkeVYWNiFpNJEQbgKlRRTfiecrAzEwI1KYGHMZIdAvGr3~KLoTCf3KKpxKdDEXu2clom8ftdq7hQIly~YQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roswell Independent School District board voted to adopt FrogStreet Preschool as the Parkview early literacy curriculum for its three‑year‑old (3Y) program after a presentation from district staff and Parkview educators.

Danielle Ortega, a staff member with the district’s early childhood team, recommended approval of the Parkview early literacy 3Y curriculum adoption and introduced teachers Jasmine Smith and Gabby Gonzalez, who described why the new curriculum was needed.

Ortega and her team said the current curriculum—three tiers for pre‑K—was developed for typically developing four‑ and five‑year‑olds and left gaps for Parkview’s largely disability‑identified, three‑year‑old population and for dual‑language learners. The presenters recommended FrogStreet Preschool because it includes student‑directed, hands‑on learning; scaffolded, weekly checks and summative assessments; dual‑language materials in English and Spanish; visuals and sign‑language supports for nonverbal students; and embedded professional development for teachers. Presenters said many of the materials are supplied with the package, reducing teacher prep time.

The curriculum will be paid for with the district’s 3Y pilot grant from the New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD). Staff said FrogStreet’s dual‑language edition was being printed and was expected to be available in July; purchase and classroom rollout are contingent on grant funds being released.

Parkview is the district site for the pilot. Ortega told the board Parkview’s enrollment is large for an early childhood site: “my 3 year old program, we're currently about — we're almost hit 180, and then our 4 year olds, I think we're about 182 just at Parkview. The district's funded for 360,” she said.

Board member Jared Ashley asked whether the curriculum complies with recent federal executive guidance. Superintendent Luck and other staff replied that the curriculum had been reviewed by ECECD and the Public Education Department (PED) and that legal counsel and state reviewers had been consulted; staff agreed to provide samples to board members for further review. \"We will adhere to the law,\" Luck said during that exchange.

Board member James Edwards moved to approve the curriculum adoption; Jared Ashby seconded. The motion carried with the ayes prevailing and the curriculum adopted.

District staff said they aim to begin use as soon as materials arrive and funding is confirmed, and they will provide sample materials to board members before full rollout.

The board’s action authorizes the purchase and implementation planning for FrogStreet Preschool at Parkview pending routine procurement and funding transfer from the ECECD pilot grant.

Implementation details and teacher training dates will be communicated to the board and to Parkview families as the curriculum materials arrive and staff schedules professional development.","The Roswell Independent School District board approved adoption of a new three‑year (3Y) early literacy curriculum for Parkview, funded by an ECECD pilot grant and intended to support students with disabilities and dual‑language learners.

Board members asked for the current tentative agreement (TA) and for a marked‑up version showing additions and deletions compared with the current contract. Staff said a TA was available online and that the district would provide board members with the documents they are allowed to receive under bargaining rules. Human Resources staff and legal counsel have participated in the process.

No formal action was taken; the update was informational.

Jeremy Sanchez, a district construction staff member, said Nancy Lopez remains under construction with walls and upcoming roofing. He estimated the building will be ready for school occupancy in August 2026 and said interior work continues; project meetings are held twice a month and he conducts site checks multiple times per week. Mountain View remains in design; the team expects design completion around October of this year and will proceed to a request for proposals (RFP) for the contractor once designs are finalized.

Superintendent Luck briefed the board on cleanup bidding for DeBrennam Stadium after the flood. She said the district has been working with its insurance carrier and that the earliest contractor bid for the cleanup was “fairly high,” with an estimate above $500,000. The proposed scope includes removal of debris, elimination of small buildings, pressure‑washing of permanent structures, topsoil removal of approximately 6–8 inches, replacement of sprinkler systems, and electrical work to address a submerged electrical box. Bleacher facilities appear salvageable, Luck said, but the district has asked the contractor to itemize costs for the insurer’s review so the insurance adjuster can validate the high bid.

Board members asked whether staff had tested the stadium electrical systems; Luck replied adjusters inspected the electrical components but the district had not yet turned the power on to confirm operability. Staff said the district is trying to avoid actions that would jeopardize insurance coverage and will follow insurer guidance. The district hopes to resume mid‑school football at DeBrennam in the fall but said contingency plans are in place.

Jeremy Sanchez described Nancy Lopez site challenges (weather/rain delays) and said subcontractor work and interior phases are progressing. He said Mountain View design meetings are scheduled and that the district plans to run construction simultaneously on Nancy Lopez and the later Mountain View contract once the RFP is published.

No formal action was required; this was an informational update. Staff will return to the board with insurance responses, a contractor’s itemized bid, and a recommended schedule once insurance approval is obtained.","District staff reported construction progress at Nancy Lopez Elementary with occupancy planned for August 2026, continued design work for Mountain View and an insurance‑backed cleanup plan for DeBrennam Stadium after flood damage.
