Bill > SB330

This bill appropriates $200,000 from the general fund to the New Mexico Public Education Department for high school dropout prevention programs in fiscal year 2022. The programs must serve at-risk, underserved, and disadvantaged populations, using a trauma-informed approach to help students gain employability skills, graduate from high school, and pursue post-secondary education, employment, or military opportunities. The programs must also provide at least one year of post-high school graduation follow-up and support to ensure student success beyond high school. The bill requires the programs to make periodic reports to the department, including data on the number of students served, graduation rates, employment, post-secondary enrollment, and other information required by the department. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2022 will revert to the general fund.
