“Think New Mexico, an independent policy think tank based in Santa Fe, analyzed spending data in all of the state’s 89 school districts and found that the best-performing ones consistently devote a greater share of their budgets to classroom instruction.

“Their kids demographically should not be doing as well as they’re doing, if you believe demographics are your destiny,” said Fred Nathan, executive director of Think New Mexico. “They really do have a philosophy of, it’s about the students — let’s push as many resources as we can into the classroom to see if we can boost our scores and our graduation rates.”
-Searchlight New Mexico, "Left behind: Special needs students suffer when schools skimp on funding," April 20, 2019

Happy Earth Day, New Mexico!

We are glad that this year the legislature and governor appropriated $242,000 for the Strategic Water Reserve to help keep New Mexico's rivers alive and flowing.

We commend Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for signing language in this year's budget to "ensure that most of the money appropriated is spent in classrooms, not on administrative expenses."
.
This will help make sure that New Mexico's education dollars reach our students and teachers in the classroom!

You'd better thank the Oil and Gas Industry for providing the lion's share of this funding!
