Taos Municipal Schools

What Taos Municipal Schools does

Taos Municipal Schools (TMS) is a public K-12 school district serving students in Taos County, New Mexico, governed by an elected Board of Education and administered by a Superintendent and Associate Superintendent. The district operates eight schools: Taos High School/Chrysalis, Taos Middle School, Enos Garcia Elementary, Ranchos Elementary School, Arroyos Del Norte Elementary, Taos Cyber Magnet School, Taos Tiger Connect K-12 Online Academy, and the district central office. Educational offerings span traditional in-person schooling, magnet/STEM programs with University of New Mexico dual-credit options, special education (Exceptional Programs), athletics, and a fully online K-12 academy.

The district's underlying technology stack consists of standardized commercial platforms: Canvas LMS (learning management), Microsoft 365 (email and productivity), PowerSchool (student information system), and Apptegy (website platform). These tools are integrated across all schools to support instruction, attendance, grading, enrollment, and parent communication, with native mobile applications on iOS and Android supplementing the website and social media channels. A dedicated Technology Department manages device provisioning, internet connectivity, and digital learning resources for students and staff.

As a government entity, TMS does not operate a commercial revenue model. It is funded by state appropriations, local property taxes, and federal grants, providing free K-12 education to resident students. Wraparound services such as free meals, before/after-school daycare, clothing and supplies, and device/internet access are delivered through the Community Schools program in partnership with community organizations. The 2025 GO Bond signals upcoming capital investment in district facilities. Customer segments are families and students within the geographic attendance area, served through in-person enrollment or the online academy.
