THE STATE IS DOLING OUT MONEY TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS FOR PROGRAMS ALLOWING STUDENTS TO GET COLLEGE CREDITS WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. BUT APS WAS LEFT OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND OF FUNDING, AND THAT HAS SOME DISTRICT OFFICIALS PERPLEXED. SUPERINTENDENT WINSTON BROOKS TELLS THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE THAT APS WAS OMITTED.
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER LORENZO GARCIA SAYS IT MAY BE PUNISHMENT FOR THE DISTRICT'S OPPOSITION TO CERTAIN STATE EDUCATION INITIATIVES, LIKE NEW TEACHER EVALUATIONS. THE PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
