Editorial: Charter school funding an investment in our kids » Albuquerque Journal

.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... Growth in New Mexico’s charter schools has been strong in recent years, so strong in fact that charter school proponents say the only thing holding them back is space. While charters are public schools, unlike traditional schools they don’t have funds reserved for capital projects and don’t qualify for capital awards from the Public School Capital Outlay Fund (unless their facilities have fallen into a state of disrepair – a rarity, because most are leased facilities and the landlords require upkeep, and students and parents would vote with their feet).

Bill that would end qualified immunity heads to Senate Judiciary Committee

meunierd/Shutterstock A bill that would end qualified immunity as a defense in civil rights cases advanced from the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee. HB 4, known as the New Mexico Civil Rights Act, passed without recommendation in a 5 to 3 vote along party lines. State Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, amended the bill to remove acequias, land grants and other small units of government from the definition of a public body, said Daniel Marzec, communications director for House Speaker Brian Egolf’s office. Egolf is a co-sponsor of the bill. The lead sponsor is Rep. Georgene Louis, D-Albuquerque. The bill provides individuals whose civil rights have been violated the ability to sue the governmental body for up to $2 million in civil penalties. That would include attorney’s fees.
