Bill > SB93

This bill appropriates $20 million from the state's general fund to the New Mexico Public Education Department to support out-of-school time programming for public school students. The funding is specifically split equally, with $10 million designated for school districts and $10 million allocated to local and statewide nonprofit community organizations. The appropriation is intended for fiscal year 2026 and subsequent years, with the goal of providing and expanding comprehensive and affordable out-of-school programming. A key feature of the bill is that any unspent funds at the end of a fiscal year will not be returned to the general fund, which allows for greater flexibility in program implementation and potential carry-over of funding. Out-of-school time programming typically refers to structured activities, learning opportunities, and supervised programs that occur outside of regular school hours, such as after-school programs, summer camps, tutoring, and enrichment activities that support student development and learning.
