School Related Legislation as Tracked by Staff of the Legislative Education Study Committee

 Wednesday January 18 Legislative Hotline

About one hundred NEA-NM and AFT New Mexico members from around New Mexico attended the Joint Legislative Training session today at the NEA-NM Headquarters Building in Santa Fe today. These member activists heard presentations on school funding, retirement issues, and salary equity issues--all vitally important issues before the current legislature.  After the presentations they lobbied legislators at the state capitol.
