STATE EDUCATION BOARD, CA

SJR 3 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace New Mexico's Public Education Commission with a State School Board. The new board would set public education policy, manage school funding distribution, and oversee the Public Education Department. It would consist of 10 elected members (by district, serving four-year terms) and 5 appointed members (selected by the governor with requirements for tribal representation and political balance). This amendment requires voter approval at the next general election to take effect.
