Uh oh. If you have kids, better start investigating private schools.

This sounds to me, like an awful idea. Part of the current APS problem is a top-heavy administration that bleeds the education from the students. Another is a very expensive headquarters located in arguably the most expensive part of Albuquerque - Uptown, in a tall building that was pimped-out to include a 300K executive boardroom and washroom, (borrow a key if you aren't worthy). My high school in the late 70's with a graduating class of 800+ was within a district including another ten public schools and the administrative building was essentially Abe Lincoln's one-room school house.

Do we want to split the district and hire an entirely new group of administrators and buildings, plus a new Teachers Union? The city and state have budget shortfalls as we have it now, so there is no more money for this new district; actually negative numbers.

Other than La Cueva High School, Albuquerque doesn't have a history of quality/efficiency in educational endeavors. I'm not optimistic about the potential success of a new district at all.

BTW, caliguy68, where did you learn to write? Just qurioos. Maybe you are from California and born in 1968. Just askin'
