Alamogordo High School Alumni Call to ACTION!

A small closed group of individuals led by a former school superintendent and individuals with NO Charter School experience are attempting to open one in Alamogordo that would pull up to $2.6 million in funding annually from Alamogordo High School has been proposed. A cut of $750,000 in funding in 2025 to $2.6 Million in funding from Alamogordo High School in 2029 budgets would negatively impact academic, athletic and other programs operated by Alamogordo High School as funds are diverted to the new proposed Charter with no elected representatives as oversight. Email your letters of concern telling the board to vote NO to this proposal for a Charter School in Alamogordo.

Email the letter of No Charter for Alamogordo to: charter.schools@ped.nm.gov
