TSZ's work over the last five years has culminated in the publication of the TAOS COUNTY EDUCATION SNAPSHOT, which combines data gathered by the Center for Community Analysis with observations about education needs in Taos County gleaned from meetings with more than 50 nonprofits, businesses, and school leaders. Please review this document with your leadership and let us know how this information will affect your work by emailing us here.

Taos County boasts four COMMUNITY SCHOOLS: Enos Garcia Elementary, Vista Grande High, Taos International Charter, and Peñasco Elementary. All receive $150,000 annual implementation grants from NMPED for status as community schools, an evidence-based strategy for incorporating social services and enrichment programs to help support the whole child and their family. TSZ is proud to have initiated this work in the Taos community.

TSZ's work with educators helped us understand the stresses of their job, especially during COVID. To help during this period, our teacher support group created a SERIES OF VIDEOS designed to help teachers de-stress.
