APS' School Board traveled to Santa Fe yesterday for a board meeting. The minutes from the previous meeting are supposed to be approved at the next meeting with a quorum. According to the New Mexico Open Meetings Act;
Draft minutes shall be prepared within ten working days after the meeting and shall be approved, amended or disapproved at the next meeting where a quorum is present. (emphasis added)It isn't so much this particular violation of the law, as it is that this is just one in a long string of Open Meetings Act violations which appears will continue unabated.
This latest actually occurred in the Roundhouse!

Do you think this is about the Ritchie Riches of ABQ trying to split and make their own APS apart from us "normal" folk?
I don't understand what the problem is. Were the minutes approved or not? Why does it matter that the meeting was moved? Did they say why it was moved? Did they give proper notice of it and post the agenda?
There is a problem with moving a meeting out of the jurisdiction simply because stakeholders cannot attend the meeting.
The problem with the minutes, is that they, the minutes from the prior meeting, were not approved at this meeting, as was required by the law.
