Board to recognize top nominees for NM School Boards Association student‑achievement award
Summary
The Pojoaque Valley board approved administration selecting the top four nominees and preparing certificates for the New Mexico School Boards Association 2026 Excellence in Student Achievement award after discussing nomination totals and the number of honorees.
The Pojoaque Valley Public Schools Board of Education approved a motion March 4 directing administration to proceed with the top four nominees for the New Mexico School Boards Association 2026 Excellence in Student Achievement award and to develop certificates recognizing nominees.
Board discussion leading up to the motion focused on how many honorees the district should present. A board member said the district received 32 submissions and that several nominees received multiple nominations; members recalled past years when the board recognized between one and three honorees depending on ties or shared projects. Several members stressed transparency in reporting nomination tallies so the community understands cutoff decisions.
A motion to have administration carry forward with the top four nominees and to prepare certificates was made and seconded; the motion carried on roll call. The board did not provide additional budget details for certificates or public recognition logistics at the meeting.
