What Silver Consolidated Schools does

Silver Consolidated Schools is a K-12 public school district and political subdivision of the State of New Mexico, headquartered at 2810 N. Swan St., Silver City, NM. The district serves more than 2,300-2,500 students across 9 campuses spread over 40+ miles in Grant County, southwestern New Mexico, comprising Silver High School (9-12), La Plata Middle School (7-8), G.W. Stout Elementary (1-6), Harrison Schmitt Elementary (1-6), Silver Scholars Academy (5 Star PreK-K), and Cliff Schools (combined K-12, four-day week). Operations are staffed by approximately 259 teachers and 224 support personnel, with a broader administrative structure covering finance, transportation, special education, nutrition, health, technology, and curriculum & instruction.

The district runs a standardized educational technology stack anchored by PowerSchool for student information, Clever for single sign-on, ParentSquare for family communication, IncidentIQ for IT support, and a 1:1 device program (iPads for PreK-K, Chromebooks for grades 1-12) with roughly two devices per staff or student. Instructional content is delivered through vendor platforms including IXL, Discovery Education, Savvas, Learning A-Z, with NWEA MAP and Istation for assessment. The district complies with WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA accessibility requirements under Section 504 and Title II of the Rehabilitation Act.

The revenue model is government appropriations-based rather than market-based: New Mexico State Equalization Guarantee funding, federal grants (Title I, Title II, Title IV, Carl Perkins, McKinney-Vento), local property taxes, and E-Rate/ECF federal funding for connectivity infrastructure. There is no tuition or fees for resident families; school meals are free to all students for the 2025-2026 school year under the federal Community Eligibility Provision. Distribution is direct: zoned in-person enrollment via online registration (InfoSnap) or in-person registration, with open enrollment via zone exemption for out-of-district students. There is no private-sector equity, parent company, or commercial owner; governance rests with a five-member elected Governing Board and a Superintendent-led administration.
