ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — All Albuquerque Public Schools will be closed Thursday, Jan. 13, due to a cyberattack that has compromised some systems.

According to APS, athletic games, tournaments and other extracurricular activities are expected to continue as scheduled.
The school district’s administrative offices will remain open Thursday and Friday, and essential school employees are expected to report to work.
District officials said the school days will need to be made up at the end of the school year.
