APS Eyes Year Round Schooling To Boost Achievement
APS tests year round schooling as a way to prevent learning loss between terms and to enable enhanced remediation and enrichment. Proponents say capacity gains could cut the need for new schools, with 20 to 50 percent more students served, and note pilot decisions, calendars, planning, and logistics remain to be resolved.

APS gets state help for overcrowding in Albuquerque
The state donated three portable buildings to Albuquerque Public Schools to house Jemez District students living up to 40 miles away. APS also voted 4-1 to sign a one year transport deal with Jemez Springs for busing students to Rio Rancho and Coralles schools, a plan likely not repeated due to district strain. Projections show student numbers could double or triple. portables may serve as backups and only temporary relief.
