THE SANTA FE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL NOT BE CLOSING E-J MARTINEZ AND NAVA ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO SAVE MONEY. AFTER HEARING FROM ANGRY PARENTS WHO OPPOSED THE MOVE, THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS VOTED TO KEEP THE SCHOOLS OPEN.
THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THAT THE DISTRICT NOW HAS TO COME UP WITH OTHER WAYS TO FILL A 1.8 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET GAP, DUE IN LARGE PART TO A REDUCTION IN STATE FUNDING.
