Would you like to help the young people in the Mountainair Community? Now is your chance!
MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD! The PED just released a proposed rule change. This rule change would force all schools to create a calendar for the 24-25 school year that have a minimum of 180 days, 1140 hours, and 50%of the school weeks must have 5 days. This rule would get rid of all 4 day schools. As a small, rural school we are able to attract teachers with our 4 day week. When many other districts can't find teachers, they are using long term subs and in many cases they are having to combine classes because there are no teachers!
We are able to do great things for our students with our longer schools days. It's going to take all our voices to stop PED from passing this rule. Please let PED know your opinion.
