Please join The New Mexico Public Education Department for the New Mexico Rising Together Tour!
Secretary Skandera and members of the PED team will be returning to several communities to provide an overview of New Mexico's State Plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act.  Your input during our autumn New Mexico Rising Tour helped shape the state plan and we are excited to spend some time sharing how we are responding in our policies and programs.
