Charter Authorization

Dear Cien Aguas Families,

We are sharing two short videos to explain an important operational decision we are exploring related to charter authorization, and—most importantly—what it means for your children and our school community.

These videos are designed for families to watch on their own time and provide clear, transparent information about:

  • What charter authorization is

  • The difference between authorization through APS and the State of New Mexico

  • Why this change may allow more funding to stay focused on student needs

Cien Aguas will remain a public, tuition-free charter school, and our mission, bilingual focus, staff, and programs do not change. This work is about long-term stability and responsible stewardship of resources in service of our students.

Please choose the video in the language that works best for your family:

We encourage you to also review the family handout linked with the videos. If you have questions after watching, we welcome your outreach and will continue to communicate openly with our community.

Thank you for your time, trust, and partnership.

CAIS Administration
