At a time when funds for the education of your children have been cut by state legislatures, Superintendent Lisa Hamilton and her team of administrators/leaders have sought additional funds to benefit the students of this district.
To date here is a list of grants that the district has received over the past two years:
Grant for Shade Structures. $9,151.00
GEAR-UP Extension $33,518.00
Community Schools Planning Grant $50,000.00
Indian Education Act Grant $85,000.00

PreK Classroom in a Box $16,000
Taos Community Foundation $7,500
Indian Education Act Grant $90,000

The funds received have allowed for afterschool programming; tutoring; additional support positions such as the Community Schools Coordinator, Michael Noll; classroom resources; and high quality staff development of district educators. One project that is under development is the addition of shade structures which need to be designed and installed.
We are committed to go above and beyond for students and will continue to seek additional funds through a variety of competitive grants from local, state, and federal funding sources and donors.
