LAPS News:

During its Nov. 8 meeting, members of the Los Alamos Public Schools (LAPS) Board voted 4-1 to adopt Plan D as the new voting redistricting boundaries for Los Alamos County. 

Michael Sharp of Research & Polling, Inc. had presented the board with five options, which were then narrowed down to three.

Each of the three options included one elementary school represented in each district. Plan D was deemed the most equitably distributed.
