SB1 increase the minimum starting pay of the state’s public school teachers by $10,000. That means starting teachers will see their pay rise to $50,000 from $40,000.
The New Mexico State Senate passed SB1 on April 5, 2022 by a vote of 31 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because public education is not a constitutional right. Investing more money in a public education that is indoctrinating our children with Marxist and liberal ideas is a strong misuse of taxpayer funds. Parents should take their children out of public schools.
