Authorized New Mexico to become a member of the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact.

New Mexico's law on Advance Enrollment requires districts to allow military families that will be relocating to a military installation in New Mexico pursuant to an official military order to enroll their children in public school prior to their actual physical presence in the school district. It explicitly states that physical presence is not required, that districts shall accept electronic applications and includes lotteries for school choice options and specialized programs. Finally, the law requires school districts and charter schools to provide military families with materials regarding academic courses, electives, sports and other relevant information regarding the public school in which the student wants to be enrolled. The New Mexico Public Education Department website does not have a dedicated webpage for military families, nor does it have user-friendly information on its Advance Enrollment policy.

Title 6, Chapter 30, Part 19 This rule provides the criteria and application process for New Mexico’s purple star public schools program, which provides a mechanism for schools to ease the transition of students of military families into new schools by providing academic, social and emotional support to those students or, for schools that do not serve military-connected students, those schools that want to recognize and celebrate military service and the accomplishments of active military and veterans. There is not currently an easily accessible webpage on the state education agency website with detailed information on the Purple Star Schools Program.
