APS seeks feedback on closing schools as enrollment drops

Albuquerque Public Schools is seeking public feedback on which schools to close as the district confronts years of declining enrollment. The APS Board of Education has approved a resolution opening public engagement on the closures and plans to gather input through the fall before a final review in the winter.

APS launched the engagement after what the board described in the resolution as sharp enrollment declines over a period of years. The district has not named specific schools under consideration.

Feedback collection is scheduled to run through the fall, with a final review of the input planned for the winter.
