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

state-funded pre-Kindergarten on literacy outcomes.

Hope to see you Tuesday night!
