Turquoise Trail Charter School seeks to purchase Santa Fe Public Schools property
What happened
Turquoise Trail Charter School, which serves 620 K-8 students, has opened talks with Santa Fe Public Schools to purchase the 24-acre property and facilities it has been leasing since about 2015. The school submitted a purchase proposal of around $11 million to the Santa Fe school board in late September. The school board discussed the proposal during a closed-door executive session on September 24.
Why it matters
The school currently pays over $470,000 in annual rent, which is supported by the New Mexico Public Schools Finance Authority’s lease assistance program. Acquiring the property would shift the school from a rental arrangement to ownership, potentially altering the financial structure of the school.
