Tatum Municipal Schools is a school district headquartered in Tatum, New Mexico, United States.
Most of the district is in Lea County (including Tatum),[2] while a portion is in Chaves County.[3]
History
Circa 1943 an elementary school gymnasium was built.[4]
In 1957 the district had a total of 650 students. That year a gymnasium was being built at the high school, with a total cost of $678,000.[5]
In 1976 there was a bond election for $1,600,000 with about 50% voter turnout out of more than 600 possible voters; the voting books indicated 709, but some voters had moved away. The bond election succeeded, with 184 votes in favor and 132 votes opposing. Plans included building a new gymnasium for the elementary school, with a proposed cost of $386,000.[4]
