HIGH-IMPACT TUTORING FOR SOME STUDENTS

SB 233 requires New Mexico public schools to provide high-impact tutoring to students in grades 4-8 who score in the bottom 25% on statewide math or reading assessments. Schools must identify these students annually, notify parents within 30 days, and deliver individualized tutoring at least three times weekly for ten weeks, with a maximum 4:1 student-to-tutor ratio. The tutoring must use aligned materials, include parent progress reports, and can replace or supplement existing remediation programs under state law. This directly affects students with academic deficiencies and public schools in New Mexico’s K-8 system.
