New Mexico Legislative Outlook, 2007
A school funding adequacy study is underway in New Mexico. Incumbent Governor Bill Richardson (D) was re-elected and campaigned for after-school enrichment programs, for a School Improvement Initiative that would extend school days and years at some low-performing schools and offer Reading, Math, and Summer Institutes. He also supports an Executive Educator Turn-Around Specialist program to train 20 principals to work with low-performing schools.
