Back to School or Stay at Home? School Boards Decide

February 26, 2021 – The Line opinion panel talks about the choices in front of school boards across the state as they decide whether to return students and educators to school buildings for the remainder of the school year. The recent decision by Albuquerque Public Schools to allow a limited return, but stay mostly online, made headlines. The APS board’s choice doesn’t stand alone, however, among New Mexico school districts. While some have plans to return most students to the classroom in some form or fashion, others have taken a similarly cautious path.
