Issue Position

Michelle knows that New Mexico kids deserve better from our public education system.

That starts by investing more dollars in our kids' classrooms and Michelle is committed to increasing these investments She will fight to fund full-day early education for every child in New Mexico. This is the smartest investment we can make in our future, and will prepare the next generation of kids for better careers and healthier lives. Michelle will end New Mexico's punitive and flawed teacher evaluation system and treat all educators as professionals, crucial to our future. She'll do away with the broken PARCC testing system. The present focus on testing undermines our ability to get kids the classroom attention they deserve and discourages top teachers from working with disadvantaged students. She will work with educators, parents and other leaders to focus our schools on preparing our kids with 21st-century skills and make sure that every child in New Mexico has an opportunity to succeed.
