Los Alamos Public Schools Board Meeting Scheduled for Jan. 13

Los Alamos Public Schools formally announced on Jan. 6 that the School Board will meet Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the School Boardroom. The notice appears on the district public calendar and in the weekly newsletter for the week of Jan. 5, which also lists district contact links and recent hiring notices.

As an official district communication, the posting serves as the primary invitation for parents, employees and residents to attend in person or follow the board’s agenda online at laschools.net. Board meetings are the main venue for policy decisions that shape classroom staffing, district budgets, student support services and operational policies. For Los Alamos families and staff, the timing and transparency of those meetings influence planning for school routines, staffing expectations and opportunities for community input.

The weekly newsletter entry and calendar listing also highlighted hiring notices, signaling the district’s ongoing recruitment efforts. Staffing decisions at the district level can affect class sizes, special education support, school nursing coverage and access to counselors and behavioral health services. Those services have direct public health implications for students, particularly for families seeking equitable access to mental health care, disability accommodations and consistent nursing services during the school day.

Beyond immediate operational effects, school board actions can influence longer term equity and community wellbeing. Hiring practices and resource allocation decisions help determine whether the district can recruit and retain diverse educators and support staff, which research finds contributes to better outcomes for historically underserved students. Community members who wish to weigh in on those priorities have the opportunity to attend the boardroom meeting or review materials posted on the district website.

Parents, staff and other residents who plan to participate should consult the Los Alamos Public Schools public calendar and weekly newsletter on laschools.net for any posted agenda items, supplemental materials or updates. The Jan. 13 meeting provides a timely chance for the community to observe governance in action and to raise questions about staffing, health services and policies that affect student safety and equity.
