Dear Bernalillo Community,

We have great news to share,

The New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority has completed its review of the Bernalillo Public School District's Preventive Maintenance Plan and awarded it an Outstanding rating, meeting all 44 of 44 statute-required performance elements. That's a perfect score, with no deficiencies and no corrective actions needed. These elements included PM Plans 20/20, Staff Development 5/5, Safety Plans 7/7, Contractor Oversight 8/8 and the Facilities Master Plan 4/4.

To our voters — this is what your investment looks like.
When you cast your vote to support the general obligation bond, you placed your trust in this District to use those dollars wisely. This Outstanding rating is tangible proof that trust is being honored. Every dollar from the bond is going toward exactly what you'd hope for: safer buildings, better-maintained facilities, and a maintenance program the state recognizes as a model for others to follow. It's a rare and welcome thing to see this clear a return on a community investment — and we wanted you to see it too.

None of this happens without dedicated people behind it — and this is exactly where your bond dollars are put to work. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Facilities Manager Wally Gurule and our entire facilities and maintenance team, whose planning, training, and daily follow-through turn voter investment into real results: schools that are safer, better maintained, and recognized statewide for excellence. This is the return every taxpayer hopes for.

Thank you, Bernalillo voters, for believing in our schools. This is what that belief builds.

Warm regards,

Bernalillo Public School District



Estimada Comunidad de Bernalillo,

Tenemos excelentes noticias que compartir.

La Autoridad de Instalaciones de Escuelas Públicas de Nuevo México (New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority) ha completado su revisión del Plan de Mantenimiento Preventivo del Distrito Escolar Público de Bernalillo y le otorgó una calificación de Sobresaliente, cumpliendo con los 44 de 44 elementos de desempeño requeridos por ley. Eso es una puntuación perfecta, sin deficiencias y sin necesidad de acciones correctivas. Estos elementos incluyeron Planes de Mantenimiento Preventivo 20/20, Desarrollo del Personal 5/5, Planes de Seguridad 7/7, Supervisión de Contratistas 8/8 y el Plan Maestro de Instalaciones 4/4.

A nuestros votantes: así es como se ve su inversión.
Cuando emitieron su voto para apoyar el bono de obligación general, depositaron su confianza en este Distrito para que usara esos fondos con sabiduría. Esta calificación de Sobresaliente es prueba tangible de que esa confianza está siendo honrada. Cada dólar del bono se está destinando exactamente a lo que esperarían: edificios más seguros, instalaciones mejor mantenidas y un programa de mantenimiento que el estado reconoce como un modelo a seguir para otros. Es algo poco común y muy bienvenido ver un retorno tan claro sobre una inversión comunitaria, y queríamos que ustedes también lo vieran.

Nada de esto ocurre sin personas dedicadas detrás — y aquí es exactamente donde se ponen a trabajar los fondos de su bono. Felicitaciones y un agradecimiento sincero al Gerente de Instalaciones, Wally Gurule, y a todo nuestro equipo de instalaciones y mantenimiento, cuya planificación, capacitación y seguimiento diario convierten la inversión de los votantes en resultados reales: escuelas más seguras, mejor mantenidas y reconocidas a nivel estatal por su excelencia. Este es el retorno que todo contribuyente espera.
Gracias, votantes de Bernalillo, por creer en nuestras escuelas. Esto es lo que esa creencia construye.

Con afecto,

Distrito Escolar Público de Bernalillo

💙 An Update on Lexi from W.D. Carroll at THE DISTRICT of Bernalillo Public Schools 💙

Our BPS family continues to keep Lexi and her loved ones in our hearts as she courageously battles through a difficult recovery following her stem cell transplant.

According to her family, Lexi has experienced several serious complications and is currently receiving treatment for a liver condition known as VOD. Her medical team is closely monitoring her health, and while there are many challenging days filled with pain and fatigue, Lexi continues to fight with incredible strength surrounded by the love of her family and the care of her medical team.

For the past several weeks, Lexi's family has been staying in Colorado while she receives critical medical treatment. As they remain focused on supporting Lexi every step of the way, the financial burden of being away from home for an extended period has become increasingly difficult.

We are asking our BPS community to come together and help support Lexi's family during this time. Donations in the form of food delivery gift cards or monetary contributions to assist with meal expenses are greatly appreciated. Every act of kindness, no matter the size, helps ease the burden and allows the family to focus on what matters most—being by Lexi's side.

Thank you for continuing to keep Lexi and her family in your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement. The strength of our BPS community shines brightest when we come together to support one another. 💙💛
