The board adopted a revised Title IX policy after legal counsel’s review and a late amendment to restore a phrase clarifying the compliance officer's scope.
Alamogordo — The Alamogordo Public Schools Board of Education approved an updated Title IX policy at its February meeting after clarifying language at the board's request.
Board counsel and administration presented a version of the policy shaped by legal guidance and a July 2024 NSBA policy alert. During discussion a board member identified a deleted phrase in the compliance officer paragraph and moved to restore the word “includes,” arguing the sentence was not clear without it. The board voted to approve the Title IX policy with that amendment.
Interim Superintendent Crabtree said legal counsel had reviewed earlier drafts and recommended language that should be in effect. The board adopted the counsel‑recommended version with the single wording change; administration said the revised policy will be published and implemented according to counsel's guidance.
The board did not discuss case details in open session; Title IX policy adoption was an open‑meeting action following legal review.
