Los Lunas Schools board records no votes in past two weeks; contracts and land talks on Oct. 27 agenda
The Los Lunas Schools Board of Education took no recorded action at any meeting in the past two weeks, according to the meeting records available for this roundup. All five entries dated Oct. 22 are agenda notices — a work session quorum notice, two closed executive session notices and two special board meeting notices — and minutes have not yet been published for any of them. The next scheduled opportunity for formal action is the regular meeting on Oct. 27, where the agenda lists possible approval of construction, equipment and vehicle items.
No decisions recorded from the Oct. 22 meetings
The Oct. 22 work session notice states that a quorum of the board may be present in the same area during a lunch break, and that members will refrain from discussing board business during that time.
Two separate notices advertise a closed executive session that day. Both describe the session as discussion only, with no official action to be taken. Two separate notices also advertise a special board meeting, listing a finance training session with the CFO and discussion of the District's Strategic Plan. That notice states no formal actions are scheduled.
Because no minutes have been published, the records do not show what was discussed or whether any consensus was reached.
Land near Desert View Elementary discussed in closed session
Both closed session notices for Oct. 22 list two discussion topics: "Discussion of Superintendent's goals" and "Discussion regarding land purchase/acquisition near Desert View Elementary and west of the Rio Grand River area."
The notices do not identify any parcel, acreage, seller or price, and they state that no action would be taken. They therefore do not establish that a purchase is planned or under contract.
Oct. 27 regular meeting: contracts and purchases listed for possible action
The agenda for the Oct. 27 regular meeting lists possible action on the following, with amounts as written in the notices:
- HVAC & Control Upgrades contract with CES Gordian c/o Nieto Custom Builders for $31,100 (one notice lists the funding source as Bond)
- Student Nutrition cafeteria kitchen equipment purchase for $21,000 (one notice lists the funding source as Federal and names Douglas Food Stores/Central Products/& McComa's Sales)
- District activity truck purchase from Chalmers Ford for $11,000 (one notice lists the funding source as Operational)
- NM Capital Outlay Grant Agreement for two district buses
- MOU between UNM and Los Lunas Schools for College of Education & Human Sciences
The same agenda lists district reports on finance, construction and transportation, and possible action on legislative priorities. The notices do not state whether the dollar figures are contract totals, not-to-exceed amounts or something else, and no action has been taken on any of these items yet.
Also on Oct. 27: closed session on Superintendent goals
A separate notice schedules a closed executive session on Oct. 27 to discuss limited personnel matters, limited to the discussion of Superintendent goals. The notice states no action will be taken.
Coming up
- **Oct. 27 — Closed executive session.** Discussion of Superintendent goals only; no action to be taken.
- **Oct. 27 — Regular meeting.** District reports on finance, construction and transportation; possible action on legislative priorities, the contracts and purchases listed above, the bus grant agreement and the UNM memorandum of understanding.
Residents can attend the open portions of the regular meeting. The closed session is not open to the public. Agendas and, once published, minutes are the official record.
