The New Mexico Public Education Department is planning to implement a rule requiring all schools to meet a 180-day instructional minimum from the 2024-2025 academic year, with provisions for exemptions based on public feedback and academic performance, particularly in reading and language arts. This adjustment, spurred by disparities in school schedules and the enactment of House Bill 130, seeks to standardize instructional time across the state and improve student outcomes, accommodating four-day school weeks and offering exemptions for schools demonstrating significant academic growth.
