SB153 bolsters early childhood education funding. The legislation increases the annual transfer to the Early Childhood Education and Care Program Fund from $150 million to $250 million.
The New Mexico State House of Representatives passed SB153 on February 10, 2024 by a vote of 52 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not a proper function of government, and taxpayers should not be forced to fund schooling for other people’s children. Instead, we encourage parents to remove their children from government-run schools and seek sound alternatives, such as homeschooling or patriotic private institutions such as FreedomProject Academy, which operate without government funding.
