APS Board Sets 2026 Meeting Dates, Committees

The Board of Education will continue to hold regular board meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education recently approved meeting dates for the coming year. The board is required by law to update its Open Meetings Act resolution annually to ensure the public receives reasonable notice of all board meetings.

In accordance with the Open Meetings Act, the APS Board Services Office posts meeting dates at least 10 days and agendas at least three days before all meetings. The information is posted on the Board of Education’s external public site. The site provides a meeting calendar, agendas, minutes, meeting videos, past meetings, and more. Meetings are also listed on the APS website: Board Meeting Dates and Agendas.
