Tularosa school board votes to terminate contract with Accounting and Financial Solutions

The TULAROSA MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS board approved terminating its contract with Accounting and Financial Solutions after convening an executive session to discuss personnel matters and the contract, according to the meeting transcript.

A staff member recommended the action, saying, “Im recommending approval of terminating the contract with Accounting and Financial Solutions.” The chair moved the item forward, the clerk seconded, and when the chair asked, “All in favor?” board members responded, “Aye,” approving the motion by vocal assent; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally for that particular vote.

The board first voted to convene an executive session under NMSA 1978 section 10-15-1(H)(2) and (H)(7), citing limited personnel matters and the termination of a contract service. The transcript shows a roll call during that procedural vote in which individuals identified on the roll were recorded as answering in the affirmative; the clerk declared the motion to convene passed. During the meeting the participants also noted a brief audio/recording issue.

The transcript identifies the speakers only by meeting function (the chair, a staff member making the recommendation, and the clerk conducting roll calls) and does not provide formal named attributions for who moved or seconded beyond those role cues. The record names the individuals called during the roll call as they were spoken on the record (for example: David Bergstrom/Bartam, Cisco Gomez, Governe/Gilbert Gaston, Naomi Sari/Saenz, Megan Hart/Karts); the transcript contains inconsistent spellings for several names.

The meeting record does not specify the contracts start date, the financial terms, or next steps for implementation; those details were not stated in the transcript.
