Enrollment Down at APS

Albuquerque Journal - Albuquerque Public Schools has an additional challenge this year as it starts the process of building a budget: The district’s enrollment has dropped by more than 1,000 students, which means APS will receive less state money. District officials don’t know how much state funding they will receive, as the legislative session has just begun, but they estimate cuts will be less severe than in the past few years.
A rough estimate shows APS cutting about $10 million this year, compared with the nearly $40 million the district has cut from its budget each of the past two years. It’s unclear exactly where APS’s students have gone this year, as they have not been tracked individually. Read full story here (subscription required) News New Mexico
