To this point, PAPA is governed by a Governing Council which sets policies for the school in accordance with its charter. PAPA's Governing Council currently consists of parents and community members with faculty and staff as advisory, non-voting members. The Governing Council meets monthly, with dates, times and location bring posted on the PAPA notice board and web site.
Admission to PAPA
Admission to PAPA is by lottery, and participation in the lottery system is open to all students throughout New Mexico. Current PAPA students are automatically entitled to enroll the following year, without participation in the lottery. Siblings or current students (who have attended PAPA at least one year) will have priority for admission in future years, subject purely to space availability.
