The EVCA Foundation’s role is to take the needs of the School and the Governing Council (GC) and turn them into tangible items. The three temporary buildings and grounds EVCA occupied in Moriarty, were the result of countless hours by the founders and other volunteers to get the school open in 2012. These facilities were leased due to the limited availability of school type facilities in the East Mountains to support the school. The lease agreement ran from 2012 to 2017 and was extended until the school was able to take occupancy of the new permanent facility in Edgewood, November of 2018. We’re very excited about the new building, which better supports our needs and long term goals as a first class education experience.
To achieve this goal of a permanent facility required a two-tiered approach. First, the School needed to succeed and establish itself as a true classical academy with measurable academic results. Second, we as a school (Foundation, Staff, Parents and GC), needed to make commitments in volunteer time and funding necessary to continue to grow the school into what the founders and Hillsdale College envisioned in early 2012.
Funding for public Charter Schools in New Mexico is not covered at the same level as regular public schools. Because of this, the Foundation needed to either raise the funds to build a facility or have enough collateral to borrow funding for a permanent school building, that is paid back to the lender over time. With the help of John Solarczyk (Ziegler Finance), the Foundation secured a commercial bond with Michele Newland of RPM Capital Management to finance the new facility.
