## Resource

New Mexico’s $2.6 billion push to boost student learning time since 2018 has delivered just three extra school days—mostly by stretching the school day, not adding meaningful instructional time. A program even rewards schools for calendar days, including teacher PD days, leaving students sidelined. While four-day weeks look financially appealing, they’re hurting students with disabilities academically. Lawmakers now face a choice: mandate more days or focus on how time is actually used—because as the state’s education chief says, without legal authority, the department can’t force change.
