Decision allowing Las Cruces high students to return to classrooms announced following protests
LAS CRUCES, New Mexico -- Starting next Monday, all public high school students in Las Cruces have the option to return to the classroom two days a week, if their families choose to do so.
That announcement at Tuesday's school board meeting followed protests hours earlier by those frustrated with remote learning who sought to have schools reopened.
"We are not compelling anyone to go into the building," said Las Cruces Public Schools Superintendent Karen Trujillo, who presented her plan to the board of education Tuesday night.
