Cobre adds dual-credit firefighting course Written by Dean Thompson on February 23, 2021
The Cobre Schools Board of Education approved the district’s 2019-20 audit, conducted by Stone McGee, during its meeting held virtually on YouTube on Monday night, and heard a short presentation about a dual-credit course to allow students to become wildland firefighters or members of the Forest Service’s camp crew program.
The board also heard a little more about the status of school reentry readiness, but the longest discussion came halfway through the meeting, when board member Gabe Holguin asked why the comment section on YouTube had been turned off for the meeting.

Despite misgivings, students, staff back return to classrooms Written by Dean Thompson on February 1, 2021
The Silver Schools Board of Education has already given the green light for its secondary schools to move into the hybrid model.
The district’s elementary schools have been in and out of hybrid instruction where 50 percent of the student population is in the classroom two days a week, alternating with the other half of students in online classes since before the holiday break.
The Cobre School District never went into a hybrid mode in its elementary schools, however.
Last week, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and the New Mexico Public Education Department announced that they will allow all districts to enter the hybrid mode in all grades Feb. 8, as long as all of the state’s guidelines are met.
