This information is from Amanda Woeger:
This email was received in response to a Freedom of Information Act request sent via email on May 20th, 2011 and via certified letter on May 26th, 2011. The request was in regards to a written resolution the Cloudcroft Board of Education is to provide to the public prior to voting on a 4-day condensed year schedule.
The email from Mr. Hancock states that in order to comply with the law the Board will again vote on the resolution at the June 13th meeting. It also shows that the Board did go ahead and vote on a measure without regard for the legal process under which the 4-day schedule is to be implemented (6.10.5.8 NMAC).
This is simply one of many examples showing a lack of understanding of the gravity of the current budget situation and how it affects the community. The leadership on this issue must be greatly improved in order to save our school in the long run.
It is important that we make our presence known at the next board meeting in order for our elected representatives to understand where the community stands on this and other issues.

I received your letter today (June 3, 2011) asking for a copy of the resolution for the 4 day week. As you know the Board did have action items on the May agenda and made motions to approve the items and did approve the items. The items were the proposed measures to cut our budget which included a 4 day week and the calendar which reflects a 4 day week. Our attorneys have advised and are preparing an official resolution to ratify both actions approving the 4 day week and it will be on the June agenda. As soon as that ratification resolution is adopted you may request a copy and I will be happy to give you one. I am sorry that there was not an earlier response, I was not aware the request had not been addressed.
