At a Sept. 9 special meeting, the Mountainair Public Schools Board approved three budget adjustment requests (BARs) — a $923 CLSD increase, a transfer listed as $0.00, and a $17,422.61 carryover for teacher/principal training — with all motions carried unanimously.
Mountainair Public Schools board members approved three budget adjustment requests during a Sept. 9, 2025 special meeting aimed at funding professional development and moving budget items between functions.
Peter Nieto presented the first item, BAR‑082‑000‑2526‑0011‑I, an increase to the FY24–FY29 Comprehensive Literacy Development (CLSD) grant (CFDA 84.371), adding $923 to fund 24195. The board voted to approve the increase after a motion from Ray Sharbutt and a second from Kristin Oliver; the minutes record the motion as carried.
Nieto also presented BAR‑082‑000‑2526‑0014‑T, described in the minutes as a transfer of budgeted items from function 2000 to function 1000. The meeting minutes list the transfer amount as $0.00. Ray Sharbutt moved to approve the transfer; Kristin Oliver seconded and the motion carried. The minutes do not provide additional detail about the $0.00 figure; it appears in the record as written.
The board approved a third BAR, BAR‑082‑000‑2526‑0016‑I, an auto‑generated carryover from the Public Education Department for the Teacher/Principal Training & Recruiting fund 24154 in the amount of $17,422.61. Nieto said the funds would be used for professional development. Ray Sharbutt moved for approval, Kaisa Jones seconded, and the motion carried.
The board listed Darrell Roberts as present and serving as board president; Kristin Oliver as secretary; members Ray Sharbutt and Kaisa Jones were present. Vice‑President Victor Romero was recorded as absent. The meeting was called to order at 6:06 p.m.; the board adjourned at 6:29 p.m. following a motion to adjourn by Ray Sharbutt, seconded by Kaisa Jones. The minutes record all motions as carried unanimously.
The minutes reference a Public Education Department memo dated Aug. 28, 2025 as the source for the CLSD increase and note that the BAR‑082‑000‑2526‑0016‑I was an auto‑generated carryover from PED. The minutes provide no additional public comment, debate, or detail about how the transfer labeled $0.00 would be executed.
