Taos district eyes state funding shifts in tailed budget talks
Taos Public Schools confronts potential $95 per pupil funding drop if state restores last year’s levels. The district holds a $65,000 contingency to cover a $10 per student loss, with plans to cut or reallocate if shortfalls persist. Negotiations with T-FUSE are on hold awaiting state decisions as the board reviews a $24.27 million budget, stressing staffing levels and debt, while addressing bus driver costs and capital needs across Taos campuses.
