Board of Education Governs School Mr. H. D. Sanchez. Superintendent THIS picture show a typical school board meeting. Members are loft to right: Mr . Grace Howe. Mr. Candelario Torre , Mrs. Ruben Montoya, Mis Rebecca Baca, Mr. Monico Aguilar and Mr H. D. Sanchez. Our Board of Education, as all others in New Mexico, is made of up five members. Each member is elected for a term of six years, and there is no limit to the number of terms a member may be re-elected. All members serve without pay; most of the time they don't even get paid for the expenses they incur in connection with their duties. The Board meets regularly on the third Tuesday of every month. Each meeting lasts any- where from three to five hours. This legal body is charged with the responsibility of providing an education for the boys and girls of our school District. Most of the action taken by the Board centers around the mak- ing of policies for governing the schools. These policies are used as guides by all employees of the board. Aside from policy making they listen to re- ports and act upon recommendations present- ed by the Superintendent in connection with the operation and management of the school system. Typical of the many items on which the Board acts at its meetings are such things as the approval of all expenditures, the open- ing of bids for awarding construction or equip- ment contracts and the hiring of personnel. mrs.
