School Board Agenda Publication

I asked the school board and Superintendent Hancock at the June 8, 2009 school board meeting to start posting the school board agenda on the outside window so it could be visible to the public outside of normal administration business hours. Superintendent Hancock and Administrative Secretary Teresa Housler agreed to this. Mr. Hancock also said that the agenda would start being posted on the school's web page www.cmsbears.org at the beginning of the next school year.

According to the Open Meetings Compliance Guide published by the New Mexico Attorney General http://www.nmag.gov/pdf/AGO%20OMA%20Guide.pdf
"Meeting notices shall include an agenda containing a list of specific items of business to be discussed or transacted at the meeting or information on how the public may obtain a copy of such an agenda. Except in the case of an emergency, the agenda shall be available to the public at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the meeting. Except for emergency matters, a public body shall take action only on items appearing on the agenda. For purposes of this Subsection, an “emergency” refers to unforeseen circumstances that, if not addressed immediately by the public body, will likely result in injury or damage to persons or property or substantial financial
loss to the public body."
