According to the Journal, link sub req, Mimi Stewart has a revolutionary new plan to fund education in NM more fairly.
But according to the article; State Education Secretary Veronica García has expressed concern about throwing more money at districts without holding them accountable for how it's spent.
I say, if Veronica Garcia cannot guarantee accountability
for every dollar spent by her department,
any better than she guaranteed accountability for
Beth Everitt and the other senior administrators and board members who changed their crony's kid's grade,
it's time for a new Secretary of Education.

Administrator's
Case Dismissed
A licensure case against Albuquerque Public Schools administrator Elsy Fierro was dismissed Thursday.
Fierro, head of the Rio Grande cluster, faced suspension and/or revocation of her license after she ordered that a Rio Grande High senior's grade be changed last May over the objections of the teacher and principal.
The dismissal was ordered by Dorian Dodson, secretary of the Children, Youth and Families Department. Dodson was appointed to hear the case after Education Secretary Veronica Garcia recused herself.
Dodson, in a prepared statement, urged APS to address broader issues raised by the case "in a way that fairly, fully and openly responds to the public's concerns and restores public confidence."
