Silver Consolidated Schools announced that representatives from Sustainability Partners recently visited the district to support ongoing efforts in exploring long-term solutions for the Ben Altamirano Fields. The site walkthrough marked an important step in envisioning the future potential of these spaces for both students and the broader community. This opportunity has been made possible through the continued support of local residents, particularly the approval of the bond measure passed in August. The district remains committed to keeping the community informed as preliminary planning and development move forward.
