School Overview
The Education Development Center (EDC), located at 1000 East Aztec in Gallup, New Mexico, serves as a key administrative and educational hub within the Gallup-McKinley County Schools (GMCS) district. Unlike a traditional K-12 campus where students attend daily classes, this facility functions as a centralized resource center designed to support the district's broader mission of academic excellence and professional growth. It acts as a focal point for district-wide initiatives, administrative oversight, and the coordination of educational services across the expansive and culturally diverse region of McKinley County.

By housing various district programs and administrative functions, the center plays a vital role in facilitating the operations of the school system, which serves a large population of students from both urban Gallup and surrounding Navajo Nation communities. The center reflects the district's commitment to providing localized support for educators, staff, and families, ensuring that the necessary infrastructure and leadership are in place to foster student success. For more information regarding the center's specific departments or current programming, stakeholders are encouraged to visit the official GMCS website at [www.gmcs.k12.nm.us](http://www.gmcs.k12.nm.us).

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

1 National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
