Board of Education Meeting: November 10, 2026

The FMS Board of Education’s November 10, 2026 meeting included a work session on grading practices, student assessment, attendance, behavior, and feedback from a community listening session. Staff reported that a new math curriculum is being implemented, with training and support scheduled from its vendor; initial benchmark data will guide instructional adjustments. The board also discussed teacher and community input on curriculum selection and plans to report back on listening-session feedback. No contract awards, bids, or specific dollar amounts were identified.

During the formal meeting, the board approved an in-state trip for fine-arts students to attend the 2027 New Mexico music and choir events, approved the consent agenda, and approved Resolution 2026R-34 to implement the legislatively required change to employee supplemental insurance arrangements, moving specified coverage to NMSIA from the current providers; staff noted possible efficiencies and cost savings but gave no figures. The board also approved the 2026–27 Indian Education policies and procedures as presented, with possible follow-up consideration of proposed amendments. Staff presented plans to brand the career-technical education center using activity and other accounts, alongside a construction-trades lab and a grant-funded truck, but the transcript ends before any vote on that branding proposal.
