Opinion: An open letter from Aztec’s incoming schools superintendent
Kevin Summers
Dear Tiger Community,
I am honored and humbled to be selected by the Aztec Board of Education to be the next Learning Leader of Aztec Municipal School District. As a result of this selection, I want to introduce myself and assure you that the progress that has been made in the District will not be lost through this coming transition as Superintendent Carpenter and I collaborate.
I am originally from the Southwest corner of New Mexico – the small, rural ranching community of Cliff. I am the son of a cattle rancher with a long family history of ranching and farming in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
LAS CRUCES – Two former Las Cruces High School and New Mexico State University students have joined forces to create an audiobook company they hope will revolutionize the medium. Relying on their differing educational backgrounds and skill sets, Luc Cadet and Alejandro Gonzales founded Abantu Audio, designed to showcase books by authors who are Black, Indigenous and persons of color or BIPOC authors.
Cadet, who has degrees in management and computer information systems, came up with the idea after he was unable to find audiobooks about Black history. A Haitian refugee who migrated to the United States at age 3, he explained he wanted to learn more about his African roots.
