Cannon Air Force Base is among bases and state agencies that have received an award for efforts to improve early school access for over 243,000 military-connected students and veterans in New Mexico, Cannon announced in a news release.
The Military Child Education Coalition presented the Pete Taylor Partnership of Excellence Award to a statewide partnership that influenced passage of four New Mexico legislative bills aimed to ease the stress and frustrations of relocating military families.
On April 6, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham signed the Military Family Early School Enrollment bill into law. The legislation allows relocating military families to enroll school-age children into public or charter schools prior to their arrival in the state.
