School board to hear high school English materials recommendation and safety plan review
The Los Alamos Public Schools board also plans to act on a Native American Heritage Month resolution on Nov. 10.
LOS ALAMOS — The Los Alamos Public Schools board will hear a recommendation of English language arts materials for grades 9 through 12 on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to the meeting agenda. Dr. Sharon Fogle and Los Alamos High School teachers Margo Batha and Karen Morris are listed to present it.
The board is set to act on a resolution supporting Native American Heritage Month. The draft in the board packet says the district educates more than 122 students who identify as Native American, and it encourages teachers to use the state-adopted social studies curriculum and Native American history and culture in class.
Discussion-only items include an overview of Native American student programs by liaison Jovita Mowrer, a preventative maintenance plan from Facilities Director Tommy Castillo, a review of the school safety plan by Assistant Superintendent Johnson and a Mountain Elementary School presentation. The consent agenda includes non-substantive changes to Policy 6147, American Indian Education.
The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the School Board Room and is streamed on Zoom (meeting ID 505 663 2222). The district says recordings usually post within a week.
