Albuquerque Public Schools Chief Financial Officer Put On Administrative Leave

The chief financial officer for Albuquerque Public Schools has been placed on paid administrative leave for reasons that aren't being publicly revealed.

Chief Financial Officer Don Moya was placed on paid administrative leave Friday.

APS spokeswoman Johanna King says she couldn't provide information about the reasons for the leave or how long it might last because Moya's status is considered a personnel matter.

Moya became chief financial officer in July 2010.

In 2013, Moya entered the public fray over what some teachers and parents said was excessive state-required testing for students.

Previously, Moya served as deputy secretary for finance and operations at the New Mexico Public Education Department.
