Bill ending “social promotion” easily clears House

From Capitol Report New Mexico - A piece of legislation that Gov. Susana Martinez has called vital in her efforts to reform New Mexico public education — ending the practice of “social promotion” — cruised through the floor of the House of Representatives by a 62-5 vote Tuesday (March 1). The measure, which combines House Bills 100 and 21, would require third-graders to read at a proficient level before moving on the fourth grade. Now that it has passed the House, the measure moves on to the Senate, where the Governor is confident it will pass so that she can sign it into law. More News New Mexico
