Cobre superintendent makes statement

By Lynn Janes

The Cobre Consolidated Schools held a board meeting at on April 24, 2023, at the Hurley Elementary School Library. President Serena Murillo called the meeting to order. Other board members in attendance included Gabriella Begay, Gilbert Guadiana, Elizabeth Dean, and David Terrazas. Dr. Jeff Spaletta also attended.

Reading of the board norms took place with each board member reading a norm. The norms consist of five rules the board strives to adhere to during the meeting. They are listed as actively listen to all perspectives, respond to concerns and questions as a unified board, professionalism expected, assume positive intent, and be positive and responsive.

The Pledge of Allegiance and salute to the New Mexico flag took place.

Three of the 3rd grade students had prepared a presentation for the board. Their teacher Breana Martin said they had worked hard on these. The students used texts to find facts then used subjects they had an interest in and then went online to research. Martin said it was a good time for them to learn safe internet use. They learned the difference between .com, .gov and .org and how to find factual information. They made a rough draft and then presented to the other students for peer review. After that they did a final draft using power point and google slides. This had made the project fun for them.
