Taos board requests follow-up on Yazzie‑Martinez compliance after regional meeting
A member of the Taos Municipal Schools Board asked the superintendent to consult with cabinet members about preparing a presentation on Yazzie‑Martinez compliance and the district's current work following a nearby Foundation meeting with the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED).

Board members said they had received notice of a Foundation meeting in Española that discussed collaboration with NMPED related to the Yazzie‑Martinez matters and asked the district for an update at a future meeting. The board did not take a formal vote on the request; the comment was made during the meeting's “future topics” discussion and treated as a request for staff follow up.

The request referenced prior remarks by Board member Concha about Yazzie‑Martinez and sought clarity about what resources or involvement Taos has following the regional meeting. The board asked the superintendent to review the topic with cabinet staff and to bring a possible presentation if time allows on an upcoming agenda.

Discussion points included interest in learning what the Foundation and NMPED had discussed in Española and how any outcome might affect district compliance or supports. No formal direction or decision was recorded during the public future‑topics segment; the board did not adopt a motion to require a presentation, and no timeline was set for a staff report.

The board had earlier said it entered executive session at 9:40 p.m. to provide superintendent performance feedback and exited at 10:51 p.m.; members stated that the executive session discussion was limited to superintendent feedback and next steps. The future‑topics exchange and the request for a Yazzie‑Martinez update occurred after the executive session and before adjournment.

The transcript referenced the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) and a regional meeting held in Española; it identified Board member Concha as having previously requested the topic for future consideration. The superintendent and cabinet were asked to consider whether a presentation on district compliance with Yazzie‑Martinez matters can be scheduled on an upcoming agenda.
