Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS; CREATING PURPLE STAR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHICH ARE SCHOOLS THAT DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES CONNECTED TO THE UNITED STATES MILITARY OR HONOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF VETERANS AND ACTIVE AND RESERVE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THE NATIONAL GUARD.
AI Summary
This bill creates the Purple Star Public Schools program in New Mexico, which provides a mechanism for public schools to ease the transition of students from military families into new schools by offering academic, social, and emotional support. Schools can apply to become a Purple Star Public School by designating staff as a point of contact for military-related students and families, providing professional development for those staff, including a website page with resources for military families, and describing the supports available. Schools without students from active-duty military families can also apply by emphasizing the importance of military service, recognizing veterans and active-duty/reserve military in their communities, and sponsoring events celebrating military service.
