The New Mexico Legislature convened on October 18, 2024, for a meeting focused on legislative education, led by Interim Director John. The session began with expressions of gratitude towards the local school district for hosting the committee, highlighting the cooperation and support received from Superintendent Hawkins and his staff.

Director John emphasized the importance of the newsletter, which serves to inform both committee members and the public about ongoing educational discussions and initiatives. He noted that the newsletter includes updates on the funding formula proposals aimed at enhancing the responsiveness and accuracy of educational funding in New Mexico. Additionally, it features insights into structured literacy support models and a breakdown of various middle school educational strategies, underscoring the complexity of educational systems across the state.

The meeting also addressed a vacancy within the committee, previously held by Manny, who was instrumental in organizing community services. Director John discussed plans to adjust the position to better support the committee's evolving needs, particularly in areas such as research analysis, newsletter production, and communication with school districts. This restructuring aims to enhance the quality of outputs provided to the committee and the public.

The session concluded with an invitation for questions, but no further inquiries were raised. The committee then prepared to transition to the next agenda item, which included a presentation on public school insurance. Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to improving educational policies and support systems in New Mexico.
