As New Mexico schools got the go-ahead last month from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to resume partial in-person teaching beginning Feb. 8, revised re-entry plans have come before districts for debate. The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education on Wednesday, Feb. 3, postponed a decision about students going back to the classroom after several hours of discussion. Prior to the board meeting, protesters gathered outside the district s headquarters.
At least 100 APS teachers attended a car rally before Wednesday night’s board meeting, calling for the district to not reopen classrooms until Bernalillo County reaches the “green” level for COVID-19 risk and restrictions, or until all staff who want to can get vaccinated a position in-line with that of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation.

February 4, 2021 GMT
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) The largest school district in New Mexico has delayed the vote on how to move forward with schools reopening, and it has planned to revisit the discussion at a coming meeting.
The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education met Wednesday to discuss a plan presented by Interim Superintendent Scott Elder that would have allowed kids to return in phases starting Feb. 22.
Elder is now expected to present a different plan that would likely focus on small groups of students. The district’s next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 17.
