Taos school board urges state to raise revenue not cut funds
The Taos Miz Board unanimously adopted a resolution urged by TFUSE asking the state to find new revenue sources rather than cut education. Superintendent Rod Weston warned continued staffing and budget cuts undermine arts, music and vocational programs while stressing the need for quality education. He noted a likely $300-450 million deficit and called for closing the out of state corporate loophole and returning to 2002 income tax rates with a balanced budget approach.

New Taos Charter School Proposal Aims for Board Review
Taos Municipal Schools discuss a TIHMS charter school proposed by Dei Francisco Romero. The plan envisions a hybrid middle school for grades 3 through 8 with initial enrollment of 100, rising to 150, using tech and media in a project based, no-fail portfolio system and extended day four days a week. Superintendent Rod Wester opposes the idea and will likely recommend disapproval to the board.
