This week, our newly elected and re-elected Truth or Consequences School Board members proudly took their Oath of Office at the New Mexico School Boards Association Annual Conference. From December 3–6, they participated in essential trainings focused on strong school board governance and effective leadership for our students and community.
We are also honored to share that the Truth or Consequences Municipal Schools Board of Education was named School Board of the Year for the 2024–2025 school year! 🏆
This recognition highlights their dedication to strengthening school policy, and their ongoing strategic planning collaboration with the superintendent and district administration to move our schools forward.
This award also reflects their unwavering advocacy for SB82, which lowers mill levy requirements and helps small and rural districts—like ours—qualify for waivers to upgrade or build much-needed school facilities.
A heartfelt thank you to:
✨ Rebecca Bartoo for her boots-on-the-ground dedication
✨ State Representative Rebecca Dow
✨ Senator Bill Soules
✨ Stan Rounds, Executive Director, New Mexico Coalition of Educational Leaders
Your partnership and leadership were instrumental in navigating this legislative success.
We are proud of our board and grateful for their commitment to the students and families of Truth or Consequences Municipal Schools! 💙📚🏫
