text: There is no better investment we can make in our young New Mexicans than providing them with a good education. We have the responsibility to ensure that our children have proper support and attend high quality schools. Unfortunately, recent studies about the well-being of our children show that New Mexico ranks at the bottom or near the bottom in a number of categories. Turning around the lowest achieving schools in our communities represents an important step forward in the effort to provide our children with a brighter future. This grant will help these schools better support their students with the goal of giving every child the opportunity to succeed through education.
