The Albuquerque Journal in New Mexico reported in an article on Saturday, August 5th that Saul Cohen, president of the Board of Regents for the New Mexico School for the Deaf has written to Ronald Stern, who took over as the school’s new superintendent on August 1st, out lining areas they wish to be kept informed about. Stern has agreed to keep them posted including test results on a regular basis. In the Journal’s August 26th issue, they also reported that the school should remain in Santa Fe. Regents President Cohen reportedly cast the deciding vote in favor of “new and remodeled physical facilities” at the school’s present location on Cerrillos Road. Superintendent Stern requested that the decision be postponed to give him time to research how education issues could impact on where the school should be located. Following lengthy discussions, the Regents split on whether to follow Stern’s recommendation. Cohen broke the 2-2 tie by casting his vote in favor of the existing location. “It was just really better to make a decision and move on from there,” Cohen said.
