[LWVNM Action] Education 2023

[Meredith Machen]

The League has long advocated for improving the quality of education in NM.
Yesterday and in her proposed budget, the governor committed to many
reforms we need. The LESC endorsed a number of bills calling for
increased investments aligned with the PED strategic plan and the
Yazzie-Martinez court orders. We will consider supporting a number of
the bills including increasing graduation requirements, lengthening
the school year, and educator recruitment and professional development.

Over the years, we've called for changing the outdated teacher performance
evaluations and participated in educator meetings and  LESC meetings where
criteria were discussed.  Last updated in 2003, they did not reflect
current research about quality teaching and learning. We are delighted to
share the new standards in effect today. They align with our Education
position (attached).
