Grants‑Cibola County Schools board approves superintendent’s summative evaluation; discusses possible contract extension in closed sessions
Summary
The Grants‑Cibola County Schools board voted to approve the superintendent’s summative evaluation prepared in executive session and held two closed sessions to discuss the evaluation and a potential contract‑extension process; no action was taken on the extension.
The Grants‑Cibola County Schools board approved the superintendent’s summative evaluation during its meeting, and held two executive sessions to discuss the evaluation and the possibility of a superintendent contract extension. The board announced no action would be taken on the contract‑extension process during the closed sessions.
Superintendent Weidner recommended adopting the meeting agenda at the start of the session, and the board later moved to consider formal approval of the summative evaluation prepared in executive session. "It has been moved by Mister Jaramillo and seconded by Missus Hunt Daly to approve the superintendent's summative evaluation as prepared in executive session," the presiding officer said before the board took a roll call vote. The chair then announced the motion carries.
The presiding officer had earlier explained the board would enter executive session under NMSA 1978 §10‑15‑1(H)(2) of the New Mexico Open Meetings Act to "discuss, prepare, and finalize the superintendent's summative evaluation and also so that the board may discuss the possibility of the superintendent's contract extension process and timeline." The board recorded that legal counsel Miss De Santiago would be present for the closed meeting and explicitly stated that no action would be taken during the session.
After the first executive session the board reconvened open session and approved the summative evaluation by roll call; the vote was announced as carrying. The board then moved into a second executive session to present the evaluation and discuss goals with the superintendent; the chair again stated no action would be taken. Following the second closed session the board reconvened and then moved to adjourn the meeting.
The meeting record in the transcript shows routine procedural votes on the agenda and on motions to enter and exit executive session; the substantive personnel action recorded in open session was the formal approval of the superintendent’s summative evaluation. The transcript does not record any vote or final decision on a superintendent contract extension, only that the board discussed the possibility and timeline in closed session.
The meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m.
