This year, four more states have adopted the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact. These states now have a better chance at receiving federal dollars to support their rural hospitals and clinics.

New Mexico, however, still remains out of this compact, despite efforts to join it during the 2026 legislative session. This puts federal money for our rural health care providers at risk. ... See MoreSee Less

It's the last day of April so that means... it's STILL financial literacy month! 💪💸

As we close out Financial Literacy Month, we would like to shout out Springer Municipal Schools in Northeast New Mexico for adopting financial literacy as a graduation requirement! Springer joins 53 other schools districts from around the state with this implementation! 🎓🎓

Students who take a financial literacy course are much better prepared for their financial futures! There are still 35 other districts that have yet to implement this requirement. If your school district is listed below, contact your school board representative and urge them to make financial literacy a graduation requirement!

Just two years ago, only ONE school district in the state required financial literacy as a high school graduation requirement. Now, that number is up to 53 districts statewide! 🏫📈💰📊 We believe that every New Mexico student in every school district deserves access to a financial literacy course. Together, we can make that happen! 💪
🎒April is financial literacy month🎒 We talked to 🎒April is financial literacy month🎒 We talked to Travis Crawley, a teacher at Volcano Vista High School in Albuquerque, who says financial literacy is one of the most important classes a student can take. ____________ So far, 53 school districts have adopted financial literacy as a graduation requirement!

We are so excited to see that 53 school districts We are so excited to see that 53 school districts across New Mexico have adopted financial literacy graduation requirements! That's more than 54% of New Mexico's public school student population! 🎓🎓 We believe that every student in New Mexico deserves a standalone course in financial literacy, to better prepare them for their financial futures. If your school district is listed above, contact your school board member and urge them to adopt financial literacy graduation requirements! 🏫🎒 ____________________________________________ Here's some talking points you can include in your letter/email to your school board member: 1) Financial literacy courses teach students critically important life skills, like budgeting, saving, investing, credit scores, and the costs of borrowing. 2) Research shows that students who complete these courses are more likely to save money, invest money, create budgets, and seek out lower-cost forms of credit. 3) Students also share the knowledge they receive with family members and friends, and they graduate better prepared for financial decision-making in the workforce or college.
