Alma d’Arte High School, a charter school in Las Cruces, is currently facing significant challenges. The school, which operates independently with its own school board, is not under the purview of Las Cruces Public Schools. Despite efforts by the school board to implement changes aimed at improving the school's situation, they are encountering opposition from students and parents. The school is now at risk of losing its state grants and potentially facing closure.

In response to the urgent situation at Alma d’Arte High School, a community advocacy organization has issued a call to action for CCIA members to attend the upcoming school board meeting on April 15. The organization emphasized the importance of community involvement in demonstrating care for the school's future and evaluating the necessity of further intervention in the matter.

The organization also highlighted the possibility of media presence at the meeting, indicating recent heightened scrutiny on the school's circumstances. Additionally, it was mentioned that individuals named Juan and Joan are intending to be present at the meeting as well.
