Facilities staff said several panels installed in recent years had cracked or failed, the manufacturer rejected responsibility for the run and the design team selected a different aluminum‑based product in coordination with the contractor.

A facilities presenter told trustees the design professionals and contractor agreed on a replacement system that uses aluminum panels commonly used on commercial sites and that the contractor and subcontractor would cover removal and installation labor; the district would pay for the new materials. “The contractor and subcontractor are covering the cost for removing the old panels and disposing of them and installing the new ones. They’ve asked the district to cover the cost of the new ones,” a staff speaker said.

During discussion a cost estimate was stated as $2,200,000; a board member immediately questioned whether the presenter meant $220,000. The speaker did not resolve the discrepancy on the record. The board nonetheless approved the acceptance of the quote; trustees recorded unanimous affirmative votes during roll call.

Presenters said the new panels have a 10‑year material warranty and that the installer who did the original work will perform the replacement work. Staff acknowledged the district has pursued remedies previously but concluded protracted litigation or extended warranty disputes would delay repairs and leave the district with the immediate problem of failed panels.

The board motion accepted the vendor quote from Bradbury Stamm (as named on the agenda packet) to replace cementitious panels at Deming High; staff will return with a contract and project schedule and said work could begin in a matter of months after the district obtains firm start‑date commitments from the contractor.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Board Meeting 5/15/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Deming Public Schools Board accepted a vendor quote to replace cracked cementitious panels at Deming High School, with district staff saying the contractor will handle removal and installation while the district pays for replacement materials.","taxTitle","DEMING PUBLIC SCHOOLS, School Districts, New Mexico","taxId",38292,"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},6236447,"Board adopts 2025–26 operational budgets, keeps mill levy target and approves bond measure language",548,1624000,2172000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3359953-a4ec920f70d2090dbd1b1fb7e8030ccc&start=1624&end=2172","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3359953-a4ec920f70d2090dbd1b1fb7e8030ccc/thumbnail_1624000.jpg","/articles/6236447/New-Mexico/Board-adopts-202526-operational-budgets-keeps-mill-levy-target-and-approves-bond-measure-language","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6236447-54e0dd94c1b97b647876ee579168e158/orig.mp4?Expires=1775175132&Signature=N2IcB0vgpGOD8UG~vEt2qZNg8ApACWZyBW2oqG2qs~hwholYjTKVKcWToaMwyUKtPYH9pKyqZxy~MN7ECD66m4lrB-nspHrUFH-gc5PUseqVk2nU1yk1lzZFfvI5KM~Yn0MtVKZSBgK5VKYBXNZsqgN4nsqPdBrU5B36kkT1G5HvIxEHZ5JlhPLJtIF0rUhMmNOBezS0u4hVUIxRSE20JbeUU4n3jit~cHSYZJ1VXtDHJF7NPVkXlzQxvwYO-fEl~2H4PyHEu4-t2~lTzBY7~-kZQbcN3jaTy2WnYznDBdje8C8AuPaNsxwU1ZeK~YZp1~1U0032rAqXG3yq8tYGwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Deming Public Schools Board on Thursday approved the district’s operational budget for the 2025–26 school year, accepted a charter high school operational budget, approved budget adjustments for the current year and passed a resolution stating the district’s intent to keep the mill levy rate level for the coming year. The board also approved a resolution proposing a $7 million general obligation school bond for voter consideration.

Board members voted to adopt the district operational budget after staff noted one change: an increase of $305,000 in function 4000 to cover the cost of a bus that is on order but may not arrive until July. “The reason I did that is because we have a bus that’s on order, and we’re not sure if it’s gonna make it here by June or if it’s gonna be in July,” said Mister Adcock, the district presenter. The board approved the Deming Public Schools budget by unanimous roll‑call vote.

The board also approved the operational budget for Deming Cesar Chavez Charter High School for 2025–26. Charter school leaders told trustees the school’s enrollment grew by 18 students this year and the charter plans a 4% across‑the‑board salary increase for staff; the school’s leadership described initiatives including an extended calendar, a fast‑track credit recovery program for juniors and seniors, and a work‑study option for elective credit.

Earlier in the meeting trustees approved a set of budget adjustments for the 2024–25 year. Staff said most adjustments reflect final federal award amounts; one transfer provides authority to cover a summer school credit‑recovery program.

On tax policy, the board approved a resolution stating its intent to maintain the current mill levy level (staff cited a target of $5.75) and clarified that the resolution expresses the board’s preference rather than a guarantee of next year’s tax rate, which depends on assessed values the county will publish this summer. The board then approved a separate resolution that places a $7 million general obligation bond question on a future ballot; staff said the resolution leaves the bond language intentionally flexible so the district can prioritize projects after voter approval. Presenters noted the $7 million scenario supports the district’s tax‑rate goal while allowing the issuance of approximately $400,000 in annual ETNs.

Board members also approved notice to the Luna County clerk of two board seats (seats 1 and 2) to be filled at the Nov. 4, 2025 local election.

All motions on the budgets, mill levy resolution and bond resolution were approved by roll call with unanimous affirmative votes recorded.","Deming Public Schools approved operational budgets for the district and Deming Cesar Chavez Charter High School, passed a resolution to maintain the mill levy target and approved a resolution proposing a $7 million general obligation bond measure; staff adjusted next‑year spending to cover a bus on order and other items.",{"_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},6236452,"Board approves unified federal grant application after staff outlines steep cuts to some programs",647,975000,1622000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3359953-a4ec920f70d2090dbd1b1fb7e8030ccc&start=975&end=1622","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3359953-a4ec920f70d2090dbd1b1fb7e8030ccc/thumbnail_975000.jpg","/articles/6236452/New-Mexico/Board-approves-unified-federal-grant-application-after-staff-outlines-steep-cuts-to-some-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6236452-f14d3e9e0f7b86b8b9c8df928271e0bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1775175132&Signature=dyxcBYrmQgHv4en5R1vUku8sv3732xeK0nkcaNoYSLP5sRLf9s8DPIqFKnFRMFbHbkZYmDWpGFJ2HGX7pNiULqGz4G~WHJXXjhTgKg9Xly7tMYEzbSmxglLYOKrUN2scNB57sxYaG7BXXgMfLnJpPzMm3KSDbfh3d6WRSOPAaurXwPvOgCkUr1wpJWPswmjlHRKdoVZfzuqFU68tq7sWcJcUPajOU6pMKHOjwJ2ZyGpeF7lI7fXaxv35mmzQ2iqw2VDPqbS-7TdmeGDbu4HL4hfDmmtXJNcBPuXjexiLfyAcMKa7KhKHjVbVy8t0lJgOxnQkA9GTpvlE-14HpIPd~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Deming Public Schools Board on Thursday approved the district’s unified application for federal programs for the 2025–26 school year, a new statewide format the district says will consolidate federal grants and reduce repetitive pre‑approval paperwork.

District staff said the statewide “unified application” pilot from the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) will group Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV and other federal streams under one submission and is intended to lower administrative burden. At the same time, staff warned the new allocations show substantial declines in several grants, and they described steps the district will take to protect services to students.

“We wanted to make sure that we have this down,” said Mister Chavez, a district staff member who led the application work. “This is going to help us to bog down some of that paperwork.” He told the board the unified process should eliminate many routine pre‑approval requests that previously were submitted to PED for individual purchases.

Chavez and colleagues explained that some federal awards decreased sharply in the new allocation. He said the district’s Title I allocations shifted (the presenter contrasted prior multi‑million dollar figures with the current award), the migrant grant fell by about 60 percent compared with previous cycles, and the McKinney‑Vento allocation that supports homeless students was not awarded to the district in this cycle. “We have over 338 students who fall under the McKinney‑Vento umbrella,” Chavez said, and the district reallocated Title I funds to continue supporting those students.

Chavez told the board the district used a multi‑week needs assessment and input from principals, program leads and PED to shape the submission, and that several staff members worked weekly for months to complete the pilot application. He said some federal streams did increase for the district while others decreased, and the district is adjusting internal budgets to maintain school‑level services.

Board members asked how the district would make up lost grant funds for students who had previously benefited from those programs. Chavez said some central‑office positions are funded from federal dollars but that those staff “work 100% with kids at the student level.” He added that the district will prioritize school allocations and shift other discretionary Title I funds as needed.

The board voted unanimously to approve the unified application. Motion to approve was made and seconded on the record; board members recorded “yes” votes during roll call in open session.

The board packet included an itemized list of planned expenditures by grant line; staff said that final award letters from PED will allow the district to finalize exact allocations and program staffing for next year. Board members commended the staff who prepared the application and noted the heavy workload required to adapt to the new PED pilot.

Staff will bring back finalized award totals and any recommended program adjustments after PED issues final awards this summer.","The Deming Public Schools Board approved the district’s unified application to the New Mexico Public Education Department for federal programs for the 2025–26 school year; staff said the new statewide pilot consolidates applications but has produced significant funding drops for some grants, including migrant and McKinney‑Vento allocations.","actionData","errors"]
