Last month, we had a wonderful education town hall, where we discussed recent investments and positive trends – as well as ongoing challenges — for increasing literacy rates among New Mexico kids. In case you missed it, here is a great report from LFC that highlights the positive impacts of state-funded pre-Kindergarten on literacy outcomes.

Hope to see you Tuesday night!
