"Albuquerque Public Schools revealed its budget to curb next year\u0092s $37 million shortfall Wednesday morning.Around 400 positions are expected to be cut during the coming school year. APS said 183 teaching positions, 201 administrative positions and nine education positions will be cut.\"I'm still very very confident there will be no pink slips,\" APS Superintendent Winston Brooks said.APS said the cuts don\u0092t necessarily mean 400 layoffs. Many of the positions will be eliminated through attrition. \"I think (job cuts through attrition) will happen. I've been working on this since October. I wouldn't say what I just said if I didn't think it would happen,\" Brooks said.Also, APS employees can expect one furlough day during the coming school year.\u0093We may not agree on everything on this budget, but it\u0092s well thought out,\u0094 Brooks said.Gov. Susana Martinez said she was not in favor of a budget that increased class sizes.\"I am not going to be very favorable to a budget that cuts a single teacher from a classroom, or an aide from the classroom,\" Martinez said.APS said this is an initial projection of the budget. Board members will meet in small groups to ask administration questions before deciding on and approving it. The budget will then be open to public discussion.The board expected to vote on the new budget on June 1."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
