Organ Mountain News report

Las Cruces Public Schools invites parents, students, staff and the Las Cruces community to provide feedback on budget priorities through its annual budget survey, open now through Jan. 31, 2025.

The LCPS Community Budget Survey, available in English and Spanish, can be accessed here until Jan. 31, 2025.

The survey went live on Sunday, Dec. 1. Its contents are a culmination of work done by the Budget Survey Committee — a group that includes teachers, parents, district administrators and community members. The committee was tasked with finalizing the survey, which gathers additional public input on spending priorities in the district. 

In FY 2024, budget sources for LCPS totaled approximately $689 million.

Additional public meetings to review data collected from the survey and recommendations for the final LCPS budget to be presented to the Board of Education for approval at 5:30 p.m. on March 26 and May 7, 2025, in the boardroom at the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex.
