Last night's Board of Education meeting was a big one! Not only was the budget approved, but we also honored our New Mexico School Board Association "Excellence in Student Achievement" award winners and our Student Board Members!
Congratulations to the winners of the New Mexico School Board Association Excellence in Student Achievement Award! Your efforts have really made a difference in the lives of your students and the community, and you should be incredibly proud of what you have accomplished!
We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Student Board Members for their unwavering dedication and commitment to improving our schools. Your insights, perspectives, and contributions have been invaluable, and we appreciate all that you do to make a positive difference in our schools.
Multiple school districts throughout the state have received social media threats against schools. SFPS and SFPD are taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety at our schools. The City of Santa Fe and SFPD are working directly with the FBI on the threat, which appears to be a hoax. There is no immediate threat towards any SFPS school.

Happy School Lunch Hero Day to all the hardworking student nutrition workers out there! Today we celebrate and thank you for your tireless dedication to ensuring that our children receive healthy and nutritious meals every day.
Your commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment in the school cafeteria is truly appreciated. We recognize the long hours and hard work you put in to make sure that every student is fed and cared for. Thank you for all that you do!
