Three seats on the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education were up for general election on February 3, 2015. Incumbents from Districts 1, 2 and 4 were up for re-election.[1]

Incumbent Analee Maestas faced two challengers for the District 1 seat, Colt Balok and Madelyn Jones, and won re-election. In District 2, incumbent Kathy Korte faced only one challenger, Peggy L. Muller-Aragon. Muller-Aragon defeated Korte to win the seat. District 4 incumbent Martin Esquivel did not seek re-election, leaving the seat open for a newcomer. Five candidates, Sina-Aurelia Pleasant Soul-Bowe, Mark Gilboard, John Jake Lopez, Charles MacQuigg and Barbara Petersen, filed to run for that open seat. Petersen defeated her fellow candidates to win election to the board.[2][3][4]

During this election season, the Albuquerque Board of Education was in the process of searching for their next permanent superintendent, after they bought out the last two years of their previous superintendent's contract. The interim superintendent proposed a new five-year plan for the district, the board collaborated a new charter school building project with a neighboring community college, and district officials worked with experts and community members to combat the district's high truancy rate.

Issues in the election

Candidates discuss third-grade retention, hiring a new superintendent and addressing the achievement gap

Eight of the 10 candidates running for a seat on the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education attended a candidate forum moderated by the League of Women Voters on January 20, 2015. The candidates answered questions from the audience in the school board chambers. District 1 candidate Colt Balok and District 2 candidate Peggy L. Muller-Aragon did not attend the forum.

District 1 incumbent Analee Maestas

The candidates were first asked what they were looking for in a new superintendent, a position the board planned to fill in the spring of 2015. District 1 incumbent Analee Maestas said she hoped the board found someone familiar with the Albuquerque Public Schools community who was able to work collaboratively with all stakeholders in the district. She added that she wanted someone visible, with good communication skills, who would get involved in the schools and the community, and who would have constructive dialogue.

District 2 incumbent Kathy Korte said she hoped the new superintendent would be from a local area and already knew the schools as they were all different and had different needs. She wanted to see someone who came in with a vision and ideas and was eager to help. She also said she did not want a superintendent who supported holding students and teachers accountable to standardized tests.

Barbara Petersen, candidate for District 4, reiterated the need for someone who understood the diversity of the district. She said she would also like a superintendent who had a fundamental understanding of teaching and learning and who would listen to what was going on in all the departments in order to have a vision of the district as a whole.

District 4 candidate Sina-Aurelia Pleasant Soul-Bowe said she would look for a superintendent who thought strategically and inspired others to look toward a long-term vision. She said she would like a superintendent who prioritized safe space for all, from students to teachers to staff, and who operated with reciprocity. She also said she would like the new superintendent to have a background in K through 12 education and be willing to move their children or grandchildren to district schools.

District 4 candidate Mark Gilboard said he wanted to go through the community surveys the district collected and consider all the traits the community listed. He said he hoped to find a superintendent with experience in an urban district and a diverse population. He also said he would like to have a superintendent who had previously and successfully worked to improve graduation rates. Like many of the other candidates, Gilboard said he wanted the superintendent to have an understanding of the district's multiculturalism and not have to learn that over the first years of service.

"There's nothing that any superintendent can bring to this district that isn't here already," said Charles MacQuigg, candidate for the District 4 seat. He said the district already has 100,000 years of teaching experience and that those teachers had all the ideas and solutions the district needs. The problem, according to MacQuigg, was that they had no seat at the table that decided on solutions. He said he would like the new superintendent to bring all stakeholders to the table and to distribute power and resources to the classroom level.

District 4 challenger John Jake Lopez

District 4 candidate John Jake Lopez said he wanted a superintendent who knew the district well enough to hit the ground running and move forward right away. He said he would like someone approachable and visible and who believed in cultural proficiency and related to community schools.

District 1 candidate Madelyn Jones mentioned the issues the new superintendent would face, such as a $600 million budget and the fact that half of the district's employees would be reaching retirement age in the next five years. To be able to work on those issues, Jones said she would like a superintendent who was both a CEO and an educator.

On the subject of prioritizing what would and would not be cut in the budget, all eight candidates agreed that money should stay in the classrooms. When asked their opinions on third-grade retention, all eight candidates again agreed, saying they were not in favor of it. Instead, they all suggested other strategies to help struggling students, with many suggesting the district start earlier and focus on early childhood education.

District 4 challenger Barbara Petersen

Petersen was one of the candidates who suggested the district focus on early childhood education, specifically pre-K and community schools, instead of third-grade retention. She said there was no research that showed that third-grade retention was positive for students.

"It guarantees more than anything dropping out and a lack of success later on," said Petersen.

Soul-Bowe said that research showed children had the greatest capacity for learning and retention from ages 0 to 7. She said that those early childhood years had to be targeted and optimized. She also suggested that the district implement strategies for teachers and parents or caregivers of young children to come together, as those parents and caregivers were the ones who knew how young children learned best. She also said that the district needed to have policies that addressed students' basic needs, including air, water, shelter, and food. She said once those needs were addressed, students could better learn and retain.

Gilboard also mentioned the need to address basic needs. He said hunger and poverty were often the real causes of students' struggles. He suggested the district work with the state departments to get children ready to learn and get parents ready to help them learn.

MacQuigg said there was no reason to turn a child back in every subject because they were doing poorly in one.

"Every child should be learning in every subject as fast and as furiously as they are able, or as slowly as they need to," he said. He added that students should never feel they had to keep up with or feel behind other students.

Lopez said he would never support third-grade retention. He said that every child went through the same stages but at different rates. He said that if a student could not read by the end of third grade, the district had to take responsibility for that. Lopez suggested the district focus on breakfast programs and on early childhood education as early as possible. He also said there should be a focus on community schooling, as it would help the community take ownership of learning so children would not fall through the cracks.

Jones also said the district should focus on early learning. She said she did not support retention because there was no plan after a student was held back, such as how long they would need to stay back.

Maestas said that if retention happened, it would have to be a collaborative process with parents. She said she would like to see the district focus on areas prior to retention, such as Pre-K, early childhood intervention, parent engagement, and community schools to help with any social barriers students might have.

District 2 incumbent Kathy Korte

Korte called third-grade retention a "political catchphrase" and said it was not the answer.

"It is a political solution to a social problem," she said. She added that the district had to spend $35 million on testing-related expenses and that spending was not helping the poverty learning gap. She said successful schools were using social programs, not testing, to help their students achieve.

The candidates had a number of different suggestions on how they would address the achievement gap and help students who feel they have no future. Soul-Bowe first acknowledged that there was an achievement gap and that it did not align solely along poverty lines but also racially.

District 4 challenger Sina-Aurelia Pleasant Soul-Bowe

"No student exists that has no future," she said. Those students who felt that way did not see themselves in the curriculum, according to Soul-Bowe. She also said they were not represented on the board, stating that there had not been a Native American, Asian American, African American, or Pacific Islander on the board in 113 years.

Gilboard also said that all students had a future. He agreed with Soul-Bowe that changes in the curriculum were needed. He said a curriculum should reflect the lives of the community. He also said that funding had to be restored to things that mattered, such as the arts, physical activities, music, and other interest areas that kept kids in school.

"There are kids with no future, and they have no future because they have no voice at the table where decisions could be crafted that would give them a future," said MacQuigg. He said that school programs that help students with socio-economic issues came from the board and the administration and that there should be someone representing every marginalized group in those discussions. He also said there should be a focus on individual achievement gaps, as when those were closed, group gaps closed automatically.

Lopez said that if a student believes they could not achieve, someone was telling them that, and it had to be stopped. He said the district had to make sure students had opportunities in the arts, humanities, extracurricular activities, and whatever else kept their interest in schools.

Jones said there needed to be a focus on building a student's self-confidence and that could start by getting them successful early on in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and first grade. She also said that not all social problems could be solved in the school system. She suggested the district collaborate with community organizations and programs to fill those needs.

"We do have an achievement opportunity gap," said Maestas. She said the district needs to continue finding resources and programs to help address that gap. She suggested focusing on mentoring, community schools, supporting mental and health needs, sufficient funding, cultural proficiency, and ethnic studies programs.

Korte agreed with those who said there needed to be more arts, music, recess, and extracurriculars in schools. She said schools should open minds and opportunities, but that right now there was a focus on students as test scores instead of as human beings.

"How do we show our kids that they have a potential if all we're always telling them is, 'You've got to pass this test, even if this test is too tricky,'?" Korte said.

Petersen said that if all the candidates' suggestions were put together, there would be a solution. She added that the district needed a curriculum that represented students and language programs that drew on the strengths of home language, building on literacy, bi-literacy, and bilingualism.[16]

Issues in the district

District asks for input on fixing truancy problems

During the 2013-2014 school year, 13,000 students in Albuquerque Public Schools were considered habitually truant with 10 or more unexcused absences. To fix what Dr. Kris Meurer, executive director of the district's student services, called a symptom of a much larger and complex issue, the district asked for input by holding a "Truancy Blitz" in January 2015.[17]

The Truancy Blitz was a three-day event intended to bring in new ideas on combating truancy issues to the district. District officials first met with experts and community groups. On the second day they worked with the media, and on the last day they held a town hall meeting for parents and community members.[17]

Searching for a new superintendent

In August 2014, Winston Brooks resigned as superintendent of Albuquerque Public Schools, leaving the district with what school board president Analee Maestas called "probably the most important decision any school board has to make." Brooks left the district two years before his contract was scheduled to end after the school board bought out the remaining years. He served the district for six years before resigning. Though neither Brooks nor the board commented on that turn of events, records showed Brooks had been involved in accusations of intimidation and retaliation and that a lawyer had been hired to look into the situation.[18][19]

After naming Brad Winter, the district's former chief operations officer, as interim superintendent, the school board asked community members for help in their search for a new permanent superintendent. The district set up an online survey for community members to share which characteristics they would like to see in their next school leader. The district also hosted public meetings and forums to discuss the search with the community.[18][20]

While that search continued, Winter, who retired only months before taking on his new position, proposed a new five-year plan for the district that focused on academic programs, such as using technology in the classroom, looking into how teachers presented information to students, and raising the district's graduation rate. The five-year plan also mapped out how the district planned to pay for those programs. Winter said he hoped to get the community involved in this task as well by holding public meetings and creating a community advisory board to work with the school board and give feedback.[20][21]

The district hired Dr. Luis Valentino as its new superintendent in April 2015. Valentino is the former associate superintendent and chief academic officer for the San Francisco Unified School District. He officially joined the district on July 1, 2015.[22]

Ballotpedia survey responses

Clipboard128.png

Two of the 10 candidates in this race participated in Ballotpedia's 2015 survey of school board candidates. The following sections display the responses to the survey questions from District 1 incumbent Analee Maestas and District 2 incumbent Kathy Korte.

Top priorities

When asked what her top priorities would be if elected, District 1 incumbent Maestas stated:

“ Selection of the BEST superintendent.

Develop critical partnerships to ensure schools are receiving every support needed to complete educational goals for every child.
Continue to advocate for community schools
Continue to advocate for equity in our schools
Continue to eliminate the achievement gap
Balanced budget but based on district priorities
Support implementation of more Pre-K
Adequate PD for staff[23]

”
—Analee Maestas (2015)[24]

When asked what her top priorities would be if elected, District 2 incumbent Korte stated:

“ "To continue advocating for:

-- elimination of excessive high-stakes testing that unfairly grades teachers, schools and kids and the associated unfunded mandates from the state;
-- financial transparency and accountability in how our taxpayer dollars are being spent at local and state level;
-- a parent's right to be able to guide their child's learning process, including the opt-out of government-mandated tests that don't advance learning in the classroom;
-- local control of school programs and financial resources;
-- proven programs that close the poverty learning gap."[23]

”
—Kathy Korte (2015)[25]

Positions on the issues

The candidates were asked to answer 10 multiple choice and short answer questions from Ballotpedia regarding significant issues in education and the school district. The questions are shown in the left column of the following table, and the candidates' responses to those questions are shown in the two right columns.

Question Maestas's Response
(District 1) 		Korte's Response
(District 2)
What is your stance on implementing Common Core standards?
 "They should be implemented." "They should not be implemented."
Should your district approve the creation of new charter schools?
 "Yes." "No."
Should the state give money to private schools through a voucher system?
 "No." "No."
Are standardized tests an accurate metric of student achievement?
 "Yes." "No."
How can the district ensure equal opportunities for high and low achieving students?
 "More Pre-K programs; Equitable funding based on student need; Use of community schools to support student social barriers affecting academic success; Inclusion of ethnic studies; Address truancy issues; Parent engagement" "Schools should have the freedom to decide which curriculum is most effective based on a student's different needs. We are forced to use certain tests -- regardless of a student's level. Every community is different. Community schools, where services for low-income students are wide-ranging and their families are also connected to such needed services."
How should expulsion be used in the district?
 "Expulsion should never be an option." "Expulsion should be used for serious offenses to ensure the safety of other students as well as the integrity of education at district schools."
If a school is failing in your district, what steps should the school board take to help the students in that school?
 "Equitable funding is available; Ensure parent engagement is occurring; Research best practices for turnaround schools and implement best practices; Provide adequate PD; Support the school in the implementation of best practices on a specific timeline, reviewing data regularly" "I have become a strong believer in community schools -- collaborating with social service agencies and businesses to provide alternative services that public schools can't provide. Alternative schools are also another great option -- those schools that serve a targeted student population, like teens who are pregnant or teens who want to return to school for a diploma."
Do you support merit pay for teachers?
 "Yes." "No."
How should the district handle underperforming teachers?
 "Set up a mentorship program for the underperforming teacher with a more experienced teacher in the district." "Put underperforming teachers on a probationary period while they seek to improve."
How would you work to improve community-school board relations?
 "Provide more opportunities for dialog rather than short 1 minutes listening sessions. Provide more opportunities to have more community based forums." "I have worked diligently to maintain communications with the constituents I serve. I am a regular FB user and converse daily with constituents on my FB pages. I send email updates letting constituents know about important issues or decisions coming up regarding our schools. I am co-founder of a citizens grass-roots group called Stand4KidsNM, which we founded to fight back against the education reforms being forced on our kids by New Mexico state education leader Hanna Skandera. This is the epitome of citizen outreach, as we took a big role at last year's Legislature to be a presence at the Capitol and plan to do so again this year."
