Taos Municipal Schools District Plans $50M Middle School Project
What happened
The Taos Municipal Schools District is planning a new or heavily renovated middle school, with a target opening date of the 2030-2031 school year. The district is collaborating with the Public School Facilities Authority on the initial planning phase. The total project cost will be funded by a $50 million general obligation bond and a $30 million state match.

Why it matters
The project involves significant capital outlay, with the district covering 63 percent of planning costs and the Public School Facilities Authority covering 37 percent. The state match was increased from 6 percent to 37 percent under Senate Bill 131, which restructured the state’s public school capital outlay formula.
