Begay told the Daily Press she will be moving out of the Cobre District. She works as a teacher at Harrison Schmitt Elementary School in the Silver Consolidated School District.Begay has served on the Cobre school board since her appointment in 2022 to fill one of several vacancies created with the resignations of three members that July. She was elected to the position the following year and served as board president from September 2023 to January 2026, after which she became vice president.In a statement to the Daily Press, Begay said serving on the school board is a responsibility she never took lightly, and thanked those who supported her.“Throughout my time on the board, I tried to keep one thing at the forefront of every decision: the students,” she said in the statement. “Their education, their opportunities, and their future were always my greatest priority. I will forever cherish the memories of student performances, academic accomplishments, athletic achievements and the countless moments that reminded me why public education matters. Those are the moments that make this work worthwhile.”Begay said she had a deeply personal belief in education as a great equalizer, creating opportunities no matter a child’s background.“Part of what inspired me to serve was my grandfather, who was sent away to boarding school,” she said. “His experience has always stayed with me and helped shape my understanding of how important education, opportunity and having someone advocate for our children truly are.”Begay thanked Cobre teachers for their work, calling them the heart of everything, and her family for their patience and support, noting she had missed many moments such as nephews’ ballgames and family dinners.“Although I am stepping away from the board, my belief in our students, our teachers and the importance of public education has not changed,” she said. “I will continue to celebrate the accomplishments of our young people and hope for nothing but success for the Cobre schools and the communities they serve.”District officials said they plan to publish a public notice in the Daily Press on the process and timeline for filling the board seat. The individual appointed to the position will serve out the remainder of Begay’s term through 2027.The Cobre board’s next meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Nov. 16 at Central Elementary School in Santa Clara.Juno Ogle may be reached at juno@scdai lypress.com.</div></body>
