Summary
Alamogordo Public Schools board approved the meeting agenda, minutes, several out-of-state travel requests, board policy updates including new graduation requirements and a revised Title IX policy, appointed members to an oversight committee, and authorized the superintendent search timeline and job posting.
Alamogordo — At its regular February meeting the Alamogordo Public Schools Board of Education approved a series of routine and substantive items, including adoption of the meeting agenda, approval of minutes, several out‑of‑state travel requests, updates to board policy on graduation requirements and Title IX, and the leadership profile and recruitment timeline for a superintendent search.
The board adopted the meeting agenda and approved the Jan. 15, 2025 meeting minutes by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The consent agenda — which included donations totaling $8,107.72 and the accounts payable listing — also passed with no objection.
On personnel and program items, the board approved an out‑of‑state travel request for Alamogordo High School Business Professionals of America (BPA) to attend the national conference in Kissimmee, Florida, May 7–11. A separate notification that the AstroVikings robotics club planned an out‑of‑state trip to Texas was discussed as a notification rather than an action item.
The board appointed two members to the district project oversight committee — Shannon Wright and Member McMurray — and adopted updated graduation requirements (board policy I-7350) that will apply to incoming ninth‑grade students. The board also approved a revised Title IX policy after a late amendment to retain language concerning the compliance officer’s scope in the policy text.
The board approved Resolution 24‑25‑06 authorizing sale or disposal of obsolete district property, primarily from the administration gym cleanout, and accepted the final leadership profile prepared by JG Consulting to open the superintendent search. The job posting and recruitment timeline were also approved; the board set an application deadline and agreed on preliminary interview windows for April (see the superintendent search article for schedule details).
In executive session the board discussed a pending special‑education due process complaint and limited personnel matters; after reconvening the board authorized legal counsel and the interim superintendent to proceed with legal strategy, including possible settlement, in the matter referenced as Student v. Alamogordo Public Schools.
No recorded vote tallies were provided in the public transcript; motions were carried by voice vote with multiple instances of “hearing no opposition” recorded.
