Pojoaque Valley board approves full‑pad turf and track replacement
Summary
The Pojoaque Valley Public Schools board voted March 4 to approve replacement of the high school football turf and track with a full‑pad system, accepting a vendor quote and using bond funding for the additional base work.
The Pojoaque Valley Public Schools Board of Education voted March 4 to approve replacement of Pojoaque Valley High School’s football turf and track, including a full base (pad) replacement, after hearing a vendor cost estimate and a recommendation from administration.
At the special meeting, a presenter for the vendor said the company provided “a quote of $79,615.54 for the removal and installation of a new base,” and told the board the additional cost would be covered by bond funding and would improve long‑term durability for student athletes. The board’s superintendent recommended moving forward with the project; a motion to approve was made, seconded and carried on a roll‑call vote.
Board members asked no substantive follow‑up questions during the presentation. The motion was described on the record as approval to proceed with the Pojoaque Valley High School turf and track replacement with the full pad system; the board carried the motion.
The project budget line for the additional base work was identified in the presentation as coming from bond funds; no further budget breakdown was given in the meeting and procurement details, contract award and schedule were not specified. The vendor said ordering needs to proceed to meet a target completion around July 1.
Next steps described during the meeting: administration will proceed as authorized, with procurement and contract finalization to follow consistent district practices. The board did not set additional conditions or amendments on the approval during the meeting.
