A Message from Dr. Richard Bowman

As Chief Technology Officer for Albuquerque Public Schools, I take responsibility and pleasure in continuously serving our students, families, staff, and administration throughout the district. 

I am passionate about technology access and education and my vision remains focused on bringing our students more firmly into the digital age as they learn and grow with the 21st century skills critical in today's world. My dedication to equity and opportunity will continue with a strong desire to meet the needs of security and safety, all with a continued commitment to student success.

My departments collaborate on a daily basis, always with APS students as our guiding beacon. The skills, values, and tools we provide our children today are indicative of how our society will function tomorrow as part of our local and global communities. Their future is in our hands.
