We also are a widely diverse district, with more than a third of our students coming from homes where the primary language is not English.
How We're Governed
Albuquerque Public Schools is governed by a seven-member, elected school board that sets policy and approves the annual budget. The board also hires the APS superintendent, who oversees the operations of the district.
New Mexico Public Education Department
APS also works closely with the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) to provide the most effective education possible for all APS students.
The New Mexico Public Education Department is the state-level governing body overseeing the state’s 89 public school districts. NMPED’s primary function with the Albuquerque Public Schools District is to administer funding. The legislature allocates educational funds; NMPED then uses a funding formula to distribute that money to school districts.
