Silver board taps 4 superintendent finalists Written by Dean Thompson on March 12, 2021
The Silver Consolidated Schools Board of Education heard plans Thursday for fully reopening its schools as of April 6, and gave out the names of the finalists for the job that will open up when Superintendent Audie Brown retires at the end of June.
The four finalists are current Silver Associate Superintendent Curtis Clough; William Hawkins, with the Hobbs schools; Fred Parker, with the Deming schools; and Bill Green, Catron County manager and former Quemado/Reserve superintendent.
The four will be interviewed by the board, and the selection of the new superintendent is set for the board’s April 12 meeting. The board has also set a special meeting Saturday, April 10, for the finalists.

Silver may cut superintendent search short, hire Clough Written by Dean Thompson on January 15, 2021
Ashley Montenegro was voted in as the new president of the Silver Schools Board of Education Thursday night, but outgoing President Eddie Flores put a little wrinkle in the board’s plans.
During discussion on the superintendent search, Flores said, “After listening to my constituents and staff, I wonder if we should end the search, and name Mr. [Curtis] Clough the superintendent. He’s here, and if we wait too long, we might not have him here.”
“You really threw me a curveball with that,” Montenegro responded. “We can talk about it, but we wouldn’t be able to vote until it’s on the agenda. We’d have to talk about having a special meeting, or getting it on the next agenda” for Feb. 15.
