Woolpert Plan Proposes Middle School Closure and Consolidation
The Woolpert plan envisions repurposing the elementary school to serve preK through eighth grade over three years starting 2025-2026, with the middle school closing within three to five years but keeping its gym and cafeteria. It calls for renovations to the high school facilities and athletic venues, with high-priority costs around $8.5 million over 10 years and optional projects just over $1 million. Interim Superintendent Dave Johnson noted the district would cover about 35% under the funding formula, with a future voter approved bond likely covering much of the cost. The board asked about removing part of Tucumcari Middle School to raise utilization, potential elective courses like wood shop, and the use of state funds, with no definitive answers yet. Johnson and Marano plan to consult New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority staff. Another idea discussed was moving sixth graders to the elementary and remodeling the middle school to cut costs. The district also approved a revised athletic stipend schedule and noted staffing vacancies. Major facility updates include new sod and repairs at the baseball field, ongoing re-roofing of the middle school, and track renovations at Rattler Stadium.
