Silver board approves routine finances, donations and deed transfer for Cliff parking parcel

At its Oct. 21 meeting, the Silver Consolidated Schools Board of Education approved routine finance items and accepted several community donations before approving a legal transfer of land adjacent to Cliff School.

The board approved a tax warrant and payment list for September totaling $3,235,502.99 and accepted donations including $4,000 from Hidden Regional Medical Center and several $500 gifts supporting school athletics and band programs. The items were considered on the consent agenda and approved during the meeting.

Superintendent Hawkins presented an attorney‑prepared legal description for a parcel that the Cliff Gila Livestock/Fair Association is transferring to the district to regularize parking and building access near Cliff School. Hawkins said the transaction will be processed as a nominal purchase to make the record clean. Board members asked for the finalized language and received a copy the following morning.

A motion to approve the purchase and deed transfer was made and seconded; the board voted in favor by voice vote with no opposition recorded during the meeting.

Board President closed the business portion of the meeting and noted future meetings: Finance Committee on Nov. 14 and the next regular meeting and work session in Cliff on Nov. 18. The board then moved into an executive session for the superintendent’s oral evaluation per district policy.
