Cobre High School hosted a College and Career fair for students in grades 9-12 on Tuesday, August 2. We had over 70 people from the community/business industry provide our students with career information. "The overall goal of this event was to spark interest in student's post secondary plans. Helping students "connect the dots" on how to get from here (high school) to there (the career of their dreams) is the outcome we are striving for. Although we have a lot of work to do in this arena, this career fair was definitely a positive start." -Judy Cruz

With no public input, the Governing Board members at the special meeting on Aug. 1, 2022 went into executive session.
Upon return into open session, Chair Alicia Edwards noted that they had taken no action in the closed session and would address the issues in open session.
The first item approved by members was to extend an offer for the permanent Chief Executive Officer to Robin Roling of Wyoming.
However, her declining the offer is covered in https://www.grantcountybeat.com/news/news-articles/73398-potential-grmc-permanent-ceo-declines-offer , so Interim CEO Marion A. "Tony" Thompson continues in the position.

On Sunday, Jan. 30, 2022, a little before 9 p.m., a First New Mexico Bank employee noticed the bank's concession trailer being towed on Pine Street. According to a Silver City Police Department incident report, after receiving assurance the trailer had not been lent to anyone, Bank President Donna Jo Monzingo met with officers from the SCPD.
Monzingo told the officers the 14-foot concession trailer had been stolen, the bank camera's grainy photos showing a light-colored SUV, later identified as possibly an early 2000's Chevy Tahoe, backing up to the trailer's tongue at about 8:33 p.m. She described the trailer as white with a turquoise bank logo and license plate number 70483TRF. It had been parked below the bank next to their storage containers.

According to a SCPD incident report, an officer attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle in the parking lot of the Auto Spa at 1400 N. Hudson Street.
The driver, later identified as Ronald Salazar, 45, of Hurley, attempted to elude officers by fleeing north from the car wash, leading officers on a chase through the Silver Heights Blvd, and Swan, 16th, Corbin, and Bennett streets section of town before heading east on Highway 180. Near the H&S Electric building, officers observed a small black bag being thrown out the window of the fleeing vehicle, later found to be a camera pouch containing a white powder presumptively identified as methamphetamine.
Continuing east on Highway 180, Salazar reached speeds of 100 mph in the area of Kirkland Road while driving recklessly, weaving in and out of traffic, and
