Las Cruces Public Schools invites community members to provide valuable input on the ongoing redistricting process through a public survey.
The survey will be open from November 21 through December 10, and the district encourages all LCPS families and staff to share their perspectives.
The redistricting process addresses critical issues such as overcrowding in East Mesa schools, balancing enrollment at comprehensive high schools, and adjusting for demographic shifts across the district. The district is particularly focused on balancing school capacities, improving transportation, and planning for long-term growth, including the potential construction of new schools in growing areas like Redhawk and Peachtree.
