CORRALES — The principal of Corrales K-8 has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation, an Albuquerque Public Schools spokesperson confirmed this week.

Alvaro Ramazzini, who has led the school since July, stepped away from his duties Feb. 6, according to APS spokesperson Martin Salazar. 

Salazar could not provide information on what led to the investigation because it is a personnel matter, he wrote. Salazar added that Ramazzini, who was hired by APS in October 2023,  is the only staff member at the school on administrative leave.

The New Mexico Public Education Department has not received any complaints regarding Ramazzini, according to agency spokesperson Janelle Garcia.

Casey Reid Kadlec, the principal of Inez Elementary School in Albuquerque, is overseeing Corrales K-8, according to Salazar.

The school, located at 200 Target Road, served elementary students for decades before recently expanding into a K-8 school. The expansion began with a sixth-grade class during the 2023-24 school year, adding an additional grade ever school year until this school year.
