The Cobre Consolidated School Board held a special meeting on July 21, 2025. Board members in attendance included Gabriella Begay, Gilbert Guadiana and Angelina Hardin. Interim Superintendent Randal Piper also attended. David Terrazas and Emmarie Heredia did not attend.
The board approved the agenda.
Public input none currently.

Guadiana ask that they discuss his censure that had been done at a previous meeting in June 2025. It had been done because the board had deemed he acted inappropriately, and it had removed him as chair of the audit committee. Guadiana said, "I am going to challenge this in court. I want to give the board the opportunity to reconsider this sanction." According to Roberts Rules of Order this would be an appropriate action to rescind a sanction. The basis of the sanction had been because of five responses from a survey saying Guadiana had been misogynistic and demeaning of women. "I do not believe myself to be misogynistic, and seven years of school board recordings have not cited him as misogynistic. The survey had amenity. However, if the response results in slander or defamation of character the survey company will be obligated to release that information. Guadiana said it would be part of his request in the action he will be taking.

The article announced that Silver City Town Manager Alex Brown had made the decision to retire at the end of this year instead of at the negotiated extension of his contract to the end of 2026, due to the lack of respect at the July 29th Council meeting from two members of the Town Council— District 2 Councilor Nick Prince and District 3 Councilor Stan Snider.

Incident involving Deputy being charged with crime of receiving public funds for services not rendered.
To the Residents of Grant County,
In June 2025, the Grant County Sheriff's Office was notified of a possible incident in which an employee may have received public funds for services not rendered, specifically through the Trout Fire overtime budget.
Upon receiving this information, I immediately initiated an internal investigation. As the investigation progressed, the New Mexico State Police were notified to investigate the allegations and potential criminal offenses. The New Mexico State Police conducted their own investigation and have filed charges on the deputy involved. No personal information will be released due to the ongoing internal investigation.
