Muscle Flexing - New Mexico Superintendents Association meets to discuss athletics curricula - Brief Article

School Administrator, Feb, 1997

Superintendents in New Mexico are exercising their muscles to take control of statewide athletics programs.

The New Mexico Superintendents Association voted unanimously to take control of the body that governs high school athletics and other activities because of dissatisfaction with various facets of the organization, according to Linda Coy, superintendent in Hatch, N.M. She concedes that superintendents had become lax over the years in overseeing the New Mexico Activities Association by delegating the responsibility to others.

As president of the superintendents' association, Coy expects her group to elect a new board of directors, with 9 of the 10 members likely to be superintendents and private school headmasters, to govern athletics and other statewide activities.
