The Alamogordo Public Schools met in special session and then public session on Monday to receive an update on investigations into Superintendent, Pam Renteria.
The special session heard a report on the investigation. The board then reconvened into regular session, and the board, as expected voted, not to renew her contract or to offer her an extension.
She has been on paid administrative leave since January, once the newly elected board convened. The board voted to refer any investigative findings to "appropriate parties" and then voted to continue Mrs. Renteria's paid leave through the end if her contract term of December 31st, 2024.
The board then addressed Superintendent Crabtree and opted to continue him as interim Superintendent and possibly naming him acting superintendent before the December 31st deadline. The board had promised during the campaign season to do a national search for a new superintendent. If that promise is kept is yet to be seen.

thank you once again, for fighting for access to public records in this and many other situations - democracy truly dies in darkness.
i would not be surprised to learn the capture was not coordinated with any local LEO - that would be consistent with recent history of ICE. it will be instructive to see if the sheriff's department/county administration choses to respond to a request for a clarifying statement.
just like health care - contracting to operate jails and prisons by entities whose primary purpose is making a profit will inevitably result in ethical problems. and all these jails and prisons that are short-staffed have a simple problem - when any business can't keep employees -
This a perfect example of why we should never have jails and prisons be managed by for-profit entities.
Inmates are sons or daughters, mothers, fathers, family and friends of our community. They and we deserve answers and deserve justice
Private prisons are simply legal slavery. You are literally selling a persons freedom.
evidently this capture occurred inside the courthouse, which would make it apparent it was co-ordinated with the sheriffs department, the entity with jurisdiction. the fact the capture was conducted by unidentified individuals wearing masks to conceal their identities, and traveling in an unmarked vehicle, makes it
The CEO of the courts claims the apprehension occured in the parking lot which is outside their juristiction. We have asked to county for its policy and do they condone these actions on county owned property.
People like Ms Jones make me feel proud to know that there are people here, who still recognize things that are very wrong, and who some will take the time to speak out about these things, to expose these wrongdoings, and to explain how these tactics fly in the face of everything the United States claims to represen
