Eldorado High School in Albuquerque is closing for two weeks after several students tested positive for COVID-19.
Albuquerque Public Schools sent a letter to families and staff informing them that the campus will close and switch to remote learning following a closure order from the New Mexico Public Education Department.
The letter notes the department requires schools to close within 7 days of multiple positive cases. APS says all but one of the positive cases at Eldorado was apparently contracted off the campus.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) An Alamogordo man serving life in prison for murder and other crimes has lost an appeal.
The New Mexico Supreme Court upheld the convictions Monday of Robert “Bob” Chavez in the 2011 killing of a man whose body was later burned.
Chavez’s attorneys had argued he should not have been tried in 2019 jointly with Matias Loza, who pleaded guilty to murder and other charges.
The state s highest court unanimously found that a joint trial did not impact Chavez s civil rights or his defense.
Prosecutors say Chavez, his brother Joe and Loza ran a drug-trafficking gang called the AZ Boys. It originated in the Phoenix area but they moved to Alamogordo.
