Board approves staff-conduct and advertising policies; reviews math instructional materials recommendations
Summary
The Las Cruces school board approved third readings of policy GBEBB (staff conduct with students) and policy KHB (advertising and marketing) and received a K–12 math instructional materials adoption update, with elementary teachers set to continue Curriculum Associates i-Ready and high schools choosing Savvas/Envision.
At the meeting the board approved third reading of policy GBEBB (staff conduct with students) with a minor comma correction and unanimously adopted policy KHB (advertising and marketing), which clarifies advertising, sponsorships and protections for student data.
Mr. Perio presented the revisions to GBEBB, noting the policy aligned language to NMAC and cross-references to the district—ode of ethical responsibility (GAB). Board members suggested a small grammatical correction; the board approved the corrected final version by motion (moved by Mr. Frank; seconded by Secretary Nolan) and recorded the ayes.
Kelly Jamieson, public information officer, presented the third reading of policy KHB and explained the added language protecting student data and clarifying content standards for advertising and sponsorships. The board moved and approved the policy.
Separately, Dr. Stephanie Hofackett provided an update on the K–12 mathematics instructional materials adoption. LCPS convened teacher review teams and publisher presentations and offered options at each grade band. After teacher rubrics and voting, elementary teachers opted to continue Curriculum Associates i-Ready; middle schools completed a two-stage vote to choose among three finalists; high school teachers favored Savvas/Envision. The board thanked staff and supported proceeding with the adoption process and next steps.
No controversial votes were recorded on these agenda items; board members and staff emphasized community and teacher engagement in the review process.
