Jemez Valley board approves special education handbook update and budget carryover request
Summary
Board members approved an updated special education handbook developed with CRTC and reviewed by Wells Diego's law firm, and approved a BAR (carryover) request to include a marker carryover in next year’s budget.
The Jemez Valley Public Schools board approved two items under new business: an updated special education handbook and a budget carryover request for a fund carryover.
A district staff member described the special education handbook as an updated policy and administrative procedure developed through the district’s partnership with CRTC and reviewed by "Wells Diego's law firm." The staff member said the handbook was revised to reflect current legal requirements for special education service delivery and asked the board to approve the 2026–27 handbook with the law-firm-proposed changes. The president moved to approve the handbook and the board registered affirmative responses.
Earlier in new business, Randy (presenter) requested approval of a marker carryover (a BAR) so the item can be included in next year’s budget. The presenter told the board the request was a carryover for that fund and asked for approval; the board voted to approve the BAR.
Why it matters: The special education handbook governs how the district provides and documents services to students with disabilities and the carryover affects next year’s budget planning. The transcript records the board’s approvals by voice; it does not include detailed dollar amounts for the BAR or a detailed roll-call vote for these two items.
What’s next: Staff will incorporate the handbook changes and proceed with budget planning to reflect the approved carryover. The transcript did not record additional follow-up deadlines.
