The Deming Public Schools Board convened on September 18, 2025, to discuss the provisional annual report for Dimencito Chavez High School. The meeting featured a presentation by Samantha Gonzales, who has been working closely with the school to ensure compliance with state educational standards.

Gonzales explained that the provisional report is pending the release of New Mexico VISTA achievement scores, which are necessary for finalizing the document. She emphasized the importance of this report as part of the district's monitoring responsibilities as the charter school authorizer. The board was asked to approve the provisional report, which will be updated once the VISTA scores are available.

During her presentation, Gonzales highlighted the findings from her site visit on April 8, where she assessed the school's compliance with various performance indicators. She noted that while the school has made significant progress in data management and reporting, there are areas needing improvement, particularly regarding the testing of all students as outlined in their contract. Gonzales suggested that an amendment to the school's contract may be necessary to better align the performance framework with the school's practices.

The board members engaged in discussions about the report, with one member raising a question regarding the consistency of the mission-specific goals outlined in the document. Gonzales acknowledged the concern and indicated that such discrepancies would be addressed in future revisions.

The meeting concluded with a call for ongoing dialogue about the school's performance and compliance, underscoring the board's commitment to supporting Dimencito Chavez High School in achieving its educational objectives. The provisional report will be revisited once the necessary achievement scores are released, ensuring that the school remains accountable to its performance standards.
