New Mexico Education Agency Suspends Los Lunas School Board –
Associated Press
The Los Lunas school board has been suspended by the New Mexico Public Education Department over allegations that multiple board members violated ethical standards and procurement and public access laws.
State officials made the announcement Wednesday, saying that it first warned the board about violations in November and that training for board members followed in January and February.
Despite those efforts, the agency said certain unnamed board members persisted in engaging in improper conduct.
Board member Frank Otero said an email to The Associated Press that he wanted to assure people he was not among those accused of wrongdoing.
