ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE REPLENISHING THE DISTRICT’S BUDGET. THEY’RE PUTTING 6-POINT-6 MILLION DOLLARS BACK IN THEIR BUDGET SO IT HAS MONEY FOR NEW HIRES, SALARIES, AND DISTRICT PROGRAMS.
THE MONEY WAS PUT ASIDE LAST MAY TO COVER WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MID YEAR BUDGET CUT BY THE STATE. THAT REDUCTION NEVER HAPPENED SO THE FUNDS ARE NOW BEING REDISTRIBUTED INSTEAD OF SAVED FOR A RAINY DAY.
ABOUT A THOUSAND APS WORKERS WILL GET A PAY BUMP AND APS IS SET TO DISTRIBUTE 570-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO RESTORE FULL SALARIES.
