Board approves renewal of Marzano professional-development agreement
Summary
The board approved renewal of the district’s Marzano professional-development purchase agreement and noted the district’s role in a PED pilot; staff reported the renewal is less costly than last year and supports in-class coaching and ongoing implementation supports.
District leaders told the board the Marzano partnership has transitioned professional development from out-of-state travel to in-district coaching and ongoing implementation supports. The district asked to renew the Marzano purchase agreement so consultants can continue in-class coaching and ongoing training that aligns with the math adoption and broader instructional goals.
Superintendent and staff said the district is serving as a pilot partner for the New Mexico Public Education Department in year two of implementation and that the renewal is expected to be less expensive than the prior year. The presentation noted the program is continuity-focused — not a single workshop — with ongoing coaching, data review and teacher supports.
The superintendent recommended approval of the renewal agreement and the board voted to approve the purchase agreement as presented. Staff said detailed cost and contract paperwork will be included in procurement records and tracked through the district’s unified application and contract processes.
