The Chronicles Of Grant County

The Silver Consolidated School District and the Cobre Consolidated School District (seen in the green circle) are the two public school districts that serve Grant County. (The map was provided courtesy of the State of New Mexico Public Education Department, 2021.)

The two public school districts that serve the people of Grant County have been contacted by The Chronicles Of Grant County during the past two months to determine if funds that appear to be unclaimed monies due to those school districts are in fact funds due to them. These funds are being held by the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department.

Silver Consolidated Schools indicated that it is reviewing information from the website used by the State of New Mexico. Cobre Consolidated Schools has not responded to any of the requests for information from The Chronicles Of Grant County.
