Las Cruces Public Schools will begin offering increased face-to-face learning opportunities following a vote Tuesday by the Las Cruces Public Schools Board of Education.
In a 4-1 decision, the board voted to expand current in-person learning efforts. While board members discussed the possibility of implementing a hybrid learning model, allowing for students in the classroom twice a week, they ultimately decided to begin with a smaller reopening approach targeting students most in need of in-person instruction.
Just who will qualify for those in-person opportunities is still being defined by the district, but Superintendent Karen Trujillo says a plan will be presented at the next school board meeting in mid-February.
