Education

Santa Fe’s education system comprises a variety of public and private primary and secondary schools, as well as a range of colleges and universities.

Public Schools Benefit from Community Support

Our public schools are the foundation of Santa Fe’s economic development and our future as a community. Our schools educate and train tomorrow’s workforce. They offer families free supports for children with help for learning disabilities, enriched education, counseling, mental wellness and more. Our public schools make so much success possible in Santa Fe, and we can, and should, all contribute to this crucial investment. Take a look into the daily operations of the Santa Fe Public Schools. Each day, more than 12,000 kids are welcomed into dozens of public facilities staffed by almost 2,000 professionals. They are carried on hundreds of buses, fed, and given medical care; they learn language, math, science, civics, art, as well as social and life skills. SFPS operations are like a small city, a system that provides a huge range of services, but with the added complexity of the key stakeholders being young, stilldeveloping humans.

In my role on the Board of Education and also as the parent of a child in public school, I am awed by the professionals who take on the challenges of teaching, driving, feeding, exercising, cleaning up after, and caring for Santa Fe’s kids in so many ways. I am increasingly aware of the urgency to better support these professionals to enhance what SFPS can provide, because public education makes a healthy and productive society possible.

Santa Fe’s incredible community partners – businesses, nonprofit organizations, individual volunteers and crucially, voters who support funding for public education – already provide and enhance valuable services. Many schools would have more difficulties without the generosity of community partners. The value of that help is incalculable. The return on investment of providing more for our children is lifelong, and the gratification of a child’s smile is immediate. Nonetheless, more support is needed.
