Summary
Superintendent Montoya reported the district has 203 students with a 91% attendance average, outlined spring field trips and testing dates, previewed a summer reading-and-math program, and announced preschool gains plus a middle-school groundbreaking attended by local officials.
Montoya, the superintendent, delivered a districtwide report describing academic, extracurricular and program updates across grade levels.
Montoya said elementary schools are finishing progress monitoring for reading and math with end-of-year testing scheduled in May, and that the district's current enrollment is 203 with an average attendance rate of 91%.
"Our current enrollment's 203, and right now they're averaging an attendance rate of 91%," Montoya said. She outlined multiple field trips and spring events: kindergarten and first-grade zoo trips, second grade visiting White Sands on April 21, fourth graders visiting the Space Museum, third graders attending a theater performance on April 29, and several grade-specific excursions in late April and May. Montoya also noted the district will host the sheriff county DARE picnic May 12 and that third-grade cheerleaders placed third at state competition.
Montoya said the high school is working on a master schedule to add courses for next year including teacher leadership, culinary arts, and health-care exploration, and is exploring a sixth-grade academy model to support students transitioning into middle school.
In early-childhood education, Montoya reported measurable gains for 3- and 4-year-olds and said the preschool program is being considered for statewide recognition for its inclusive model. She also thanked central-office and school staff for hosting a successful New Mexico School Board Association regional meeting at the high school.
Montoya introduced Judy Jones as the district's new HR director; Jones expressed gratitude for the opportunity.
The report closed with a note that the district recently held a middle-school groundbreaking attended by village trustees, county commissioners and a state representative's office staff. Board members did not take action on the report; it was received for informational purposes.
