GMCS Board of Education Discharge Hearing 041-14-2026

This was a GMCS Board of Education discharge hearing held on April 14, 2026, concerning the termination of a Student Success Advisor (SSA) who failed to meet the requirements of an alternative license program mandated by the New Mexico Public Education Department. The hearing reviewed the employee's performance issues, including failure to complete required tasks such as transcript audits and graduation planning, as well as the inability to maintain licensure within the five-year limit. Testimonies from supervisors and administrators detailed the support and accommodations offered, the employee's medical condition and accommodation requests, and the formal documentation and growth plans implemented to assist her. The board ultimately voted to discharge the employee due to unsatisfactory performance and failure to meet licensure requirements, with no further extensions available from the state. The meeting concluded with motions to approve the discharge and adjourn the session.
