The Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve the superintendent's evaluation during a regular meeting after completing the evaluation in a closed executive session.
Dr. Gonzales moved that the board enter executive session "to discuss limited personnel matters as permitted under NMSA 19 70 eight-ten-fifteen-one H2 of the Open Meetings Act, specifically for the Board to complete its evaluation of the superintendent and 2, for the board to discuss its evaluation with the superintendent," and a board member seconded the motion. The board approved the motion by voice vote and went into executive session.
After returning to open session, under "Board discussion and possible action" a board member moved to "approve the superintendent's evaluation as completed in executive session," and the Chair seconded the motion. The board again approved the motion by voice vote. The Chair announced, "We have approved the superintendent's evaluation as completed in executive session."
The meeting also approved the day's agenda earlier in the session after a motion and second, and the Chair noted a hearing scheduled for 4/6 as part of advanced planning. The meeting was then adjourned.
The transcript records the board's procedural steps and the statutory citation the board relied on when entering executive session; it does not record details of the evaluation itself because that discussion occurred in closed session.
