Bill > HJR2

This Joint Resolution proposes to amend the New Mexico Constitution to ensure a sufficient education for public school students by gradually limiting class sizes. Specifically, it aims to establish maximum class sizes for most subjects, excluding specialized classes like music, band, electives, and extracurricular activities, with the goal of reaching these limits by the 2022-2023 school year. The proposed limits are 18 students per class for kindergarten through third grade, 22 students per class for fourth through eighth grade, and 25 students per class for ninth through twelfth grade. This constitutional amendment would then be put to a vote by the public at the next general or special election.
