As many of you know, Silver Consolidated Schools has been planning discussions regarding the potential consolidation of elementary schools, as outlined in our Facilities Master Plan (FMP). Initially, I intended to begin committee meetings and broader community discussions in early 2024. However, our timeline has been adjusted due to a critical funding opportunity that will allow us to make well-informed, data-driven decisions.
In December 2024, I applied for and the school received grant funding from the Public School Facilities Authority (PSFA) for a Feasibility Study. This study is essential in ensuring that any decision we make regarding school consolidation is based on a comprehensive analysis of district needs, building capacity, educational standards, and community impact.
Dear Parents, Staff and Community Members,
At Silver Consolidated Schools, I want every student and family to feel safe, supported, and truly welcome in our schools. Recent changes in federal policies regarding immigration enforcement near schools have understandably raised concerns, and I want to reassure you that our priority is the well-being of every student in our care.
As a public school district, we are legally required to provide education to all students, regardless of immigration status, as protected by the U.S. Constitution and the landmark Supreme Court case Plyler v. Doe. New Mexico's Constitution also guarantees the right to a free education for all children, and our schools are committed to ensuring every student has access to a safe and uninterrupted learning experience.
