Summary
Superintendent and staff presented analytics showing hundreds of parent outreach events this year, two schools earned state bilingual program recognition, and district students reported a February trip to the State Capitol.
SANTA TERESA — District leaders reported extensive parent and community outreach this year, recognized two schools for bilingual programming and heard students describe a recent trip to the New Mexico State Capitol.
Parent outreach and communications
Staff presented analytics on district communications and outreach: the district reported hundreds of outreach events documented in a Title I‑required electronic log and a summary spreadsheet available to board members. During discussion district staff said 346 outreach events had been recorded so far in the school year (February data not fully included in the tally shown) and detailed sign‑in sheets, flyers and agendas are retained in a district file for accountability and Title I reporting.
Bilingual recognition and program notes
The board recognized Riverside Elementary and Loma Linda Elementary for receiving a Bilingual Multicultural Education Program Recognition Award from the Language and Culture Division. School leaders and bilingual teachers were acknowledged; the official state recognition ceremony is scheduled for March 7 at the State Capitol Roundhouse in Santa Fe.
Student trip to Santa Fe
A group of students who visited the State Capitol on Feb. 13 shared reflections with the board, describing their schedule, tours of the House and Senate chambers, and meetings with legislative staff and the lieutenant governor. Staff thanked board members who helped arrange travel and chaperoned the trip.
Why it matters
District staff framed extensive outreach and bilingual recognition as evidence of active community engagement and program quality. Board members praised school leaders and encouraged continued outreach to under‑represented neighborhoods and recruiting for Equity Council membership.
