Changes proposed to Gallup-McKinley School card policy
Gallup McKinley County School Board eyed 11 pages of policy changes at a Social Work session on Thursday night. Major proposals include moving expulsions hearings to a single officer rather than the full board and letting parents appeal the officer’s decisions to the board. The plan aims to speed hearings and allow direct confrontation with witnesses while retaining student rights. Additional changes grant bus drivers authority to bar misbehaving students from buses with reinstatement after clear conditions.

Hearings Set On Two Big Mines In New Mexico
The New Mexico Coal Surface Mining Commission will hold permit hearings Tuesday for two large coal strip mines in northwest New Mexico. The South Hospital mine, owned by Chaco Energy, could begin long-delayed construction if approved, with an estimated 84 million tons of recoverable coal on an 18.4 square mile lease. Western Coal Co. Bisti mine, tied to a proposed 2000 megawatt generating station, faces delays and may require an Environmental Impact Statement, with 87 million tons of recoverable coal on a 5,775 acre lease 35 miles south of Farmington. The commission plans to finalize decisions before going out of the permitting business in mid-June under a new federal coal surface mining law.
