Dr. Scrase of @NMHSD now reviewing the Gating Criteria for reopening in New Mexico. “Our success depends on the social distancing practices of New Mexicans.” #MaskUp #AllTogetherNM #BackToSchoolNM
@GovMLG: “New Mexico is going to delay in-person learning through at least Labor Day - September 7, 2020.” #BackToSchoolNM
“On-line learning starts as soon as the school starts... This pause on in-person learning is not the same as delaying education for our children... We are directing additional CARES Act & related funding so that distance learning can be improved.” #BackToSchoolNM
@GovMLG emphasizes: “We want to get to full reentry with all students, all grades, all schools... We are working diligently to boost the amount of childcare support to New Mexico families... No schools may dis-enroll students if they choose an online option only” #BackToSchoolNM

The Governor is now fielding questions from the media. Don’t forget to visit bit.ly/BackToSchoolNM to see our updated FAQs and guidance documents (please refresh your browser if it doesn’t immediately appear!) #BackToSchoolNM
@GovMLG explains: “We made a collective decision that it was far safer & consistent with best public health practice for Secretary Stewart to remain with his family at this time... [He] is doing everything possible to make sure kids in NM get the best possible education.”
@GovMLG clarifies the update does not apply to private schools, but there will be safety requirements for them, similar to businesses. “The PED does not have authority over private schools... [Private schools] do have to follow public health orders & follow COVID-safe practices.”
Thank you for tuning in! Please continue to direct health-related inquiries to 1-855-600-3453. For the PED Back-to-School Hotline: 1-833-415-0567. Please keep in mind the details of reentry plans will be determined by local education leaders. #BackToSchoolNM
