Board approves consent agenda, amends budget policy to require quarterly reporting, and appoints CRC member
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (including contracts over $60,000 and budget adjustment requests), passed second reading of amended Policy 502 adding a quarterly reporting requirement for maintenance/transfer bars, and approved Danny Makey’s appointment to the CRC.
At its regular meeting the Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education took three formal actions by voice vote.
1) Consent agenda approved: The board approved the consent agenda, which included budget adjustment requests (many listed as $0 impact) and contracts over $60,000 for ancillary services such as nursing, speech and occupational therapy. District staff said the larger contracts reflect staffing shortages and the need to contract for in‑person ancillary services; some vendors provide teletherapy when appropriate.
2) Second reading and approval of amended Policy 502 (Budget Development and Maintenance): After discussion the board added language—per an audit committee recommendation—requiring maintenance and transfer bars executed under blanket approvals within the same fund to be reported to the board quarterly. The amended policy was approved on second reading.
3) CRC appointment: Board member Heffron nominated Danny Makey to the Citizen Review Committee (CRC). The nomination received a second and the board approved the appointment by voice vote.
The meeting record shows voice votes with “aye” recorded but no roll‑call tallies were provided in the transcript. No items were tabled or failed during the session.
