Taos Municipal Schools board enters executive session and authorizes superintendent to work with counsel on personnel and litigation matters
Summary
The Taos Municipal Schools board voted to go into executive session on a personnel investigation and separately authorized the superintendent to coordinate with legal counsel on a pending threat or litigation matter; both actions passed by recorded voice votes.
The Taos Municipal Schools board voted to enter an executive session to discuss a personnel investigation and later authorized the superintendent to work with legal counsel on a related pending threat or litigation matter.
The board recorded a motion to move into executive session to discuss the investigation or consideration of complaints or charges against a limited public employee and matters related to a threat or pending claim. The motion to enter executive session was seconded; the record shows affirmative votes from Secretary Kenyanya, Vice President Sprague and President Craig. The meeting proceeded into the closed session.
After discussion, the board considered a second, separate motion “to authorize the superintendent to work with legal counsel to respond to the pending threat and litigation matter.” That motion was seconded (the record shows the second was provided by the vice president) and passed by an affirmative voice vote recorded for Secretary Chiquill, Vice President Sprague and President Flores.
The meeting record does not identify the members who made the motions by full name, and the transcript alternately refers to the presiding officer as “President Craig” and later as “President Flores.” The record also contains differing references to the secretary as “Kenyanya” and later as “Chiquill.” The transcript does not provide the superintendent’s full name or the name of legal counsel.
No additional public details or deliberations from the closed session were released in the transcript. The motion authorizing the superintendent was limited in the record to directing the superintendent to work with legal counsel; it did not specify deadlines, reporting requirements, or further board-directed actions in the public record.
The record includes an administrative reference, transcribed as “EOTC Charter Information number 543Dot2025Dash00415,” and a phrase referencing a “25 agreement” in relation to claims or litigation; the record does not identify a statutory citation or explain those references.
The board adjourned following the posted agenda items.
