PASS - SGND BY GOV - Chapter 51
Summary
The bill amends New Mexico’s Teacher Residency Act to set resident stipends at 65% of the statutory minimum salary for undergraduates and 80% for those with a bachelor’s degree, with additional modest payments for mentor teachers, principals and program coordinators. It also allows a resident to accept a teaching position at any public school after completing the residency, while still encouraging an employment offer from the partner district based on staffing needs and performance. These changes aim to make the residency more financially attractive and increase placement flexibility.
