Bill > SB132

This bill aims to increase the minimum annual salary for licensed educational assistants in New Mexico from $12,000 to $20,000, effective in the 2022-2023 school year. It also outlines the licensing framework for educational assistants, including requirements for the highest level of license to meet federal standards for employment in Title 1 programs. Additionally, the bill grants professional leave to licensed educational assistants who are enrolled in or accepted by an undergraduate teacher preparation program at a public post-secondary institution in New Mexico, with some provisions to minimize disruption to the school day.
