[edit] School Accountability Law Should Not Change
"We’re somewhat ambivalent to House Bill 237, sponsored by State Rep. Andrew Barreras, D-Valencia County. Barreras is taking advantage of a lean year to eliminate the demand by state law that public school districts publish their accountability reports in a newspaper of general circulation in their district.
Since all the school districts in Rio Arriba County, and Pojoaque school district too, have been routinely violating this law for the last decade, removing the requirement would just make them legal, at least in this regard.
This was a good law enacted in the early 1990s spurred by a demand for accountability in public schools because so many were slowly slipping off the end of the scale in test scores, violence and graduation rates. But which districts and by how much? Enter the accountability report."
