Meredith Machen, President of the New Mexico League, has just won The New Mexican 10 Who Made a Difference award for 2015. She sends us their LWVNM positions and strategies to support public education.
This could not be more timely. Here in Florida, we are working on a similar statement. It is easier to criticize the many shortcomings of current education policy than it is to formulate workable strategies, but New Mexico has set a high standard. They address many current problems in constructive ways.
The LWV-Florida is compiling strategies from other state leagues as well. Send us yours.
