REVISED NOTICE
PUBLIC NOTICE: The Hagerman Board of Education will be meeting on Monday, March 13, 2023 in the Board Room in Hagerman Municipal School. A Work Session has been scheduled for 5:30PM and the Regular Meeting will start at 6:00PM or immediately following the Work Session. Agenda is posted on the district website under DOCUMENTS in the BOARD AGENDA folder as well as posted at the Town Hall, Post Office, District Office and each building.
By mutual decision of the Coaches, Athletic Coordinator and Administration, Hagerman High School will not be able to host the Alfalfa Capital/Harvey Wilson Relays as well as the Buckwheat Relays, due to ongoing construction delays at the stadium and concern for the safety of the participants and fans. It is our goal to put on a competitive, well run meet where all athletes have a chance to meet qualifying marks, and presently we are not able to do that. The District apologizes for the inconvenience this causes. We look forward to hosting next season and hope to
see you there.
Best regards,
Andrew Rodriguez
Athletic Coordinator
Curtis Clough
Superintendent

We invite you to share your thoughts and experiences on access to basic family services in our county by participating in an important survey. The 100% Chaves County initiative and the Chaves County Health Council want to learn about your experiences accessing medical care, childcare, job training, transportation, housing, and more. The survey asks about the quality of services you have received and the types of challenges you may face accessing certain services. The survey results will assist us in making recommendations to city and county officials and community organizations to improve the quality of life in our county. Your participation in the survey is voluntary and there is no penalty for not participating. The survey is completely anonymous; we will not ask for your name. All responses will be grouped together, analyzed, and presented in aggregate form so that no one can be identified by their responses. You can also enter to win a gift card at the end of the survey! http://bit.ly/Chaves100
