Committee would review how New Mexico schools engage families

The memorial would ask the Legislative Education Study Committee to study family engagement in New Mexico schools and recommend ways to improve it. The study would review practices in school districts and charter schools, barriers families face, family engagement models, and training for teachers and administrators. The memorial requests a study and recommendations; it does not require schools to adopt them or provide funding. The study would take place during the 2026 interim. Findings and recommendations would be due to the Legislative Council by August 31, 2026, and posted online by September 30, 2026.
