SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico education officials have put together an outline for addressing education inequities that have fueled a years-long legal battle over underserved students. A copy of the draft report obtained by the Associated Press suggests the state will focus on increasing teacher training, reducing dropout rates and absenteeism and increasing funding for social services and at-home internet and computers. The draft is aimed at resolving the ongoing lawsuit over educational opportunities for Native American students and others. It states goals but does not specify solutions. Education officials say a final version will be released in December and will include specific fixes and explain how successes will be measured.
