The Rio Grande Foundation's education reform division, OAK New Mexico, has conducted a survey among legislative candidates concerning key educational issues in the state. The survey focused on three primary questions.

The first question asked candidates if they believe parents should have the right to review their child's curriculum and any additional school materials. This question touches on parental involvement in education and transparency within schools.

The second question addressed whether New Mexico should respect family diversity by maintaining local control of board members instead of excessive rulemaking from the Public Education Department. This includes decisions like implementing four-day school weeks, which are becoming more common in some districts.

The third question explored support for directing education funds to students and families for educational options that best suit their needs. This reflects ongoing discussions about school choice and funding flexibility.

For those interested in detailed responses from the candidates, full results are available through OAK New Mexico.
