SANTA FE, NM – Today marked a huge win for school districts as the 5th Judicial District Court issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting PED from enforcing their new 180-day mandate. The judge acknowledged legislative intent was extremely clear, and PED overstepped its authority by implementing the mandatory minimum instructional days for all school districts statewide.
"This is a huge victory for rural school districts across the state," said Gail Armstrong (R-Magdalena). "We will continue to advocate for PED to respect legislative intent and local control. We will also continue to support the districts in their challenge of PED's overreach."
