Silver City, NM – Silver Consolidated Schools has officially submitted a Letter of Intent to the Public School Capital Outlay Council (PSCOC) seeking funding for a comprehensive rebuild of the Cliff Combined School, located at 622 State Highway 211 in Cliff, New Mexico. The rebuild is essential due to the severe infrastructure deficiencies of the current campus, which was originally constructed in 1936.
The proposed project, estimated at $45,855,464, includes the demolition of several outdated and unsafe buildings, which have long exceeded their expected lifespans. "Cliff Schools are a vital part of our community, and it's essential that we provide our students with a safe and effective learning environment," said William D. Hawkins, Superintendent of Silver Consolidated Schools. "The current facilities are no longer adequate, and this project will ensure that Cliff Schools can continue to serve our students well into the future."
