New Mexico Secretary of
Education-designate Hanna Skandera is urging lawmakers to support a funding
increase of about $140 million for public schools in fiscal year 2014.
The
Public Education Department's request includes $20 million to purchase about
250 new school buses. Skandera proposes investing $13.5 million in new money in
early-childhood reading initiatives, such as hiring regional reading coaches.
Another
$11 million would be directed to pre-kindergarten programs.
