New Mexico State Information
The NM Legislative Education Study Committee has recommended aligning New Mexico special education law with IDEA, a move that could remove protections for gifted students in our state. This, coming at a time of financial trouble for public education, could lead to further cuts in gifted education programming.
Contact your legislators and urge them to support Individual Education Plans for gifted students. Let them know that gifted students have special needs not met in general education. Help them understand that gifted students are New Mexico's future.
