Silver Consolidated Schools board reorganizes, approves consent agenda and disposals
Summary
At the Jan. 20 regular meeting the board elected officers and committee assignments, approved minutes, the consent agenda (including capital awards and donations) and a disposal list; votes were taken by voice or roll call and motions passed unanimously.
The Silver Consolidated Schools Board of Education reorganized and conducted routine business during its Jan. 20 regular meeting, re-electing Ashlanda Negra as board president and naming Doctor Diaz vice president. Board members also approved committee assignments, minutes, the consent agenda and a resolution establishing public meeting notice procedures.
A motion to keep Ashlanda Negra as president was moved by Doctor Diaz and seconded by Missus Clement; the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition. Doctor Diaz was nominated and approved as vice president. Committee appointments approved included the finance committee (President and Missus Clement), audit committee (President and Patrick Khan), threat assessment (Mister McMillan) and SHAC (Missus Clement with Doctor Diaz as alternate). Patrick Khan was approved as board secretary.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included payment of $4,185,103.96 in checks written in December 2024 and several grant awards and receipts listed in the packet. Items on the financial report called out in the meeting included public school capital outlay special awards: roughly $2,002,003 for Cliff, $1,127,871 for Harrison and $414,981 for La Plata (items presented in the finance/purchasing report). The sale of $7,000,000 in general obligation bonds and residual debt service receipts were also noted in the finance report; these items were described during the earlier bond presentation.
The consent agenda also contained donations (examples cited in the packet: $750 from the Summer City Moose Lodge to the SHS Sunshine Fund; $4,000 from Theater Group of New Mexico to the district theater program) and a disposal list of obsolete equipment slated for auction through the state auditor process. The board approved the disposal list in the consent motion and again by separate motion to ensure process oversight.
The board adopted a standard resolution to establish reasonable notice of its public meetings and scheduled future meetings and committee dates (including a February 17 work session and regular meeting). No controversial or substantive policy changes were made; the meeting included a mix of presentations and routine approvals.
