APS Prepares For Influx Of Arizona Students

Brooks Says District Will Educate All Kids

Comments (40)Arizona's new immigration law has the attention of Albuquerque Public Schools leaders.

Superintendent Winston Brooks said he won't know how many students will move here from Arizona until after the school year starts, but APS is getting ready.

"If they come to our door and say, 'We want to be educated', or come to our door and say, 'We want our kids to be educated', then that's exactly what we are going to do. We are going to educate all kids," said Brooks.

Brooks said the district does not ask students about their immigration status.

"We're not going to discriminate on anything," said Brooks.

He said he expects a surge of families moving to Albuquerque from Arizona, and he has heard some are already moving here to avoid the new immigration law.

"I am beginning to hear from land owners, apartment managers that their apartments are absolutely full," said Brooks.

But not everyone agrees that APS should be so welcoming.

"I think they should question it just because, one, they just cut so many teachers this year, that they are going to have too many students in a classroom," said Carys Drennan.

Brooks said the district should know after the first two weeks of school how many families have moved here from Arizona, but not necessarily their immigration status.

Look at LAUSD. 50 percent drop out rate for the anchor babies.

Your exactly right The Illegal parents depend on the schools to help them raise their little anchors.... Most of them drop out before high school,and the ones that go to high school dropout at a rate above 50%. After all of the anchors dropout,they join gangs and begin their lives of crime. It all starts with graffiti,and It usually ends with an Innocent American citizen seriously harmed or killed.... alas In this politically correct world that we live In, the real truth Is never spoken. If you dare to talk the truth you are labled a "racist". Illegals and their enablers have run out of talking points,and when that happens all they can do Is "SHOOT THE MESSENGER"....
