Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How is Logan Municipal Schools paid for?
Logan Municipal Schools is a small rural district in Logan, Quay County, New Mexico, with about 210 students in one elementary and one middle/high school campus, plus the Ute Lake Online Learning Center. Like most New Mexico districts, most of its operating money comes from the state's funding formula (the State Equalization Guarantee), which pays per student. Building projects lean on state Public School Capital Outlay Council (PSCOC) awards, local SB-9 capital money and bonds. A five-member elected board sets policy and hires the superintendent, Mr. Perschbacher.
State building awards
In November 2025 the board accepted two PSCOC awards of $150,000 and $100,000.

Presented May 5 and approved 4-0 on May 11, 2026; the total is not in the posted minutes.
Projects
A drainage project (Rymarc Construction) finished by August 2026; the culinary arts (FACS) room project followed; a parking garage RFP was approved in September 2026.
Board
President Toby Willis, Vice President Kene Terry, Secretary Taylor Smith, Jimmy Neece and Russell Bruhn. Meetings are usually the second Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., with Zoom access.
The board posts agendas and signed minutes for nearly every meeting. The minutes are short, so the reasons behind votes and dollar amounts are often missing.
