Bill > SB233

This bill enacts the Student Bill of Rights in New Mexico, which establishes various rights for public school students. The key provisions include the right to a learning environment free from discrimination, access to translation and interpretation services, the use of preferred gender pronouns and names, and the right to extracurricular activities and college/career readiness support. The bill also ensures students' rights to due process, freedom from over-policing and criminalization, and access to mental health services. In times of emergencies, the bill requires public schools to maintain quality access to education, including online learning and necessary services. The bill encourages schools to become sanctuary schools and use restorative justice practices instead of punitive punishments.
