Legislative Update - 12/18/2025

Today at the Legislature, the Legislative Education Study Committee (LESC) endorsed a bill to amend the Attendance for Success Act for students whose absences are addressed in IEP or Section 504 plan. This will also have a positive impact on attendance-related effects to schools. There is still a process ahead, but this is the strongest possible start to realizing change! Thank you to all of you for your continuing support and sharing broadly for greater awareness of the challenges families around New Mexico are experiencing. Continuing appreciation is due to the bi-cameral, bi-partisan LESC legislators and the Committee’s staff - Thank you!
