Provide input to APS on potential school closures

As we discussed recently on this site, Albuquerque Public Schools are beginning the process of possibly closing some schools. We view this as absolutely necessary given the District’s plummeting enrollment. As we’ve argued, we believe the best way to undertake these needed closures is through something resembling a federal BRAC process like that used to close down unnecessary military bases in recent decades.

Albuquerque Public Schools is seeking a retrofit

Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — School closures, repurposing buildings and boundary changes are all on the table, as New Mexico’s largest school district responds to a sharp decline in student enrollment. APS has reported losing approximately 20,000 students over the past decade, leaving many schools operating significantly below their intended capacities. Officials identified two primary reasons for the decline: falling birth rates in Bernalillo County and families with school-age children leaving New Mexico. APS will hold 14 public meetings during the next three months to gather feedback from students, families, employees, community organizations and the general public. Any proposal to close a school would require a separate recommendation and formal action by the APS Board of Education.
