  The NMSD Board of Directors values the opinion and input of the community. This is an opportunity for the public to offer comments regarding issues being considered by the board. On matters of the day-to-day operation of the district, such as policy, curriculum, academic standards, etc. the public is invited and encouraged to meet with the Superintendent.

The Student Board Members will have the opportunity to communicate with the full Board, administration, and community about school events and issues.

The consent agenda enables the Board to efficiently deal with matters that have been delegated to the Superintendent, but by law must be approved by the Board. Items on the consent agenda are voted upon as one block and approved with one vote. An item may be removed from the consent agenda only upon approval of a majority of the Board.

 The administration recommends that the Board of Directors… 

            … approve the consent agenda as presented (or as modified at the meeting).

Attached is the explanation of the previously approved 2026–2027 school calendar. The calendar includes several key updates: the district’s transition from trimesters to semesters (moving from three 60‑day trimesters to two 90‑day semesters), a new unified conference schedule providing three days of conferences for all schools, and an adjustment to Spring Break, now set for April 12–16. The attached document provides additional detail for board reference.

As part of placing a district measure on the ballot, the school district is required to submit specific materials to the County Auditor, including the official ballot title, ballot resolution, and voter pamphlet information. The County also requests that the district complete and submit the For/Against Committee Appointment Form, which identifies individuals recommended to write the “For” and “Against” statements for the local voters’ pamphlet. While the Auditor ultimately appoints the committees, the district is responsible for forwarding recommended names, if available, and providing contact information for those willing to serve. The attached document outlines the required submissions and the process the County follows when assembling voters’ pamphlet committees.

Travis Quinn, CTE/ALE Principal, will provide an overview of the program changes planned for the 2026–2027 school year at James A. Taylor and HomeLink. Updates include: - Transitioning the program funding structure from (ALE) Alternative Learning Environment to (BEA) Basic Education Allocation;  - Adjustments to the daily schedule and student service model - Proposed changes to Night School - Program modifications within HomeLink These updates are designed to enhance student access, improve instructional alignment, and strengthen overall program effectiveness.

President Gonzalez Timmons may call for a motion for a five-minute recess.

The school board adheres to the principles of Policy Governance ©. The board has written four sets of policies: Ends, Executive Requirements, Board-Superintendent Relationships, and Governance Process. The Ends policies describe the student outcomes the superintendent is charged with achieving. The Executive Requirement policies set the parameters within which the superintendent must operate as he/she leads the district toward the expected Ends. The BoardSuperintendent Relationships policies describe the way in which the board will oversee the superintendent’s performance and the superintendent will support the board. The Governance Process policies describe how the board and its individual members shall conduct business, represent the community, and relate to each other.

No less than once per year, the Board receives and considers evidence regarding the level of compliance with the provisions of these four sets of policies, a few at each meeting. The following are those policies to be monitored during this meeting.

A monitoring report is included in this digital board packet. The administration believes that all provisions of this policy have been following and implemented. 

The administration recommends that...

    ... the board find the superintendent's performance to comply with ER-9. 

The administration also invites comments regarding the superintendent's performance.
