In a roll-call vote the board approved entering executive session: Board Member Concha, Board Member King, Secretary Trujillo, Vice President Sprague and President Flores all voted yes. The agenda listed three executive-session items: (1) year-two updates to the superintendent's contract, specifically paragraph 11 on mentoring; (2) superintendent performance, including potential next steps such as a specific plan or directives for success; and (3) an update from the auditing firm and the superintendent regarding the status of a special audit, including information pending from other agencies. The board cited exemptions that permit closed discussion of limited personnel matters and audit-related information under Section 10-15-1(H)(2) of the New Mexico Open Meetings Act, Section 12-6-5 of the New Mexico Audit Act, and 2.20.2.15(A)(3) NMAC. No substantive details from the closed session were disclosed in the public record during the meeting. The board reconvened to public session later per the meeting agenda (public reconvening time not recorded in the public transcript segment).
