 [Albuquerque, N.M.] –Albuquerque Public Schools will seek public input on the proposed 2010-2011 budget during a series of six public forums.  The budget forums are scheduled for: 

  • Thursday, March 4, at 6:30 p.m. at Taylor Middle School, 9200 Guadalupe NW;

  • Tuesday, March 9, at 7 p.m. at La Cueva High, 7801 Wilshire NE;

  • Wednesday, March 24, at 6 p.m. at Petroglyph Elementary, 5100 Mama Lynn Ave. NW.

 “This is an opportunity for people in the community who have an interest in education to share their thoughts about the budget and to help determine where funds will be spent,” said Dupuy Bateman, chief financial officer for APS.

 He added, “The budget process, by its nature, is complicated and time consuming. District administrators, school personnel and members of the community need to provide input on the budget as it is formulated.”

 The meetings are to discuss the APS operational budget for 2010-2011 which is expected to be more than $674 million. The budget includes funding for direct instruction such as general education, special education, early childhood education, bilingual education, fine arts, physical education, vocational education, technology, summer school and athletics. It will also provide funding for support services, including student and instructional support, school administration, transportation and food services.
