Summary
After a closed executive session on personnel, the Gadsden Independent Schools board voted to extend interim superintendent Nubia Tarasonathrough June 1, 2026; the public record shows the motion and a declaration that it carried, though the transcript does not record a full roll-call tally for that specific vote.
The Gadsden Independent Schools board on March 7 approved an extension of interim superintendent Nubia Tarasonathrough June 1, 2026, following a closed executive session on the superintendent's performance.
Board president Lira moved the board into a closed session under the New Mexico Open Meetings Act, invoking Section 10-15-1(H)(2), "to discuss interim superintendent's performance and possible extension of addendum agreement during the superintendent search or name new interim superintendent and negotiate terms," and the board went into closed session at about 05:15. The board reconvened in public later and voted to end the closed session at about 06:20.
Under agenda item 4a, Lira moved to approve extending the interim superintendent agreement for Nubia Tarasona until June 1, 2026. The motion was put to a voice vote and was declared carried. The public transcript records the motion, several affirmative "Aye" responses, and the board presidentdeclaring "Motion carries," but it does not provide a full, line-by-line roll-call tally for this specific agenda vote.
The motion to use executive session authority cited a personnel exception in state law; no personnel details were discussed in public. The board did not record additional terms of the extension in the public motion text beyond the new end date. The transcript does not include a second on the motion or a separate statement of salary, duration beyond the date above, or any dissenting remarks in the public record.
The board had convened the special meeting at the new Riverside Pre-K center and returned to public session only to take the item under action. The meeting adjourned immediately after the vote.
What happens next: the transcript does not record further procedural follow-up or a publicly posted written amendment; the extension is effective through June 1, 2026, as stated in the motion.
