This! ALL students deserve the opportunity to reach their fullest potencial.

YES Vice President of Strategy Matt Frendewey was recently quoted on why states should participate in the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit.

His message is simple: when states opt in, students have access to more educational opportunities. When they don't, families miss out.

Parental involvement isn’t optional—it’s one of the strongest predictors of student success. Research consistently shows that when parents stay engaged, set clear expectations, monitor progress, and reinforce learning at home, students perform better academically.📈

Schools have a responsibility to provide transparency and access to what’s being taught. Parents have a responsibility to use that access—ask questions, stay informed, and stay involved in their child’s education.📚

If we want stronger outcomes for students, it starts with partnership between parents and schools. Don’t stay on the sidelines—be engaged, be informed, and be part of your child’s learning every day!🍎

Albuquerque Public Schools has 27,000 fewer students this year compared to 2010. The student population has declined 30% in just over 15 years. Yet MLG and the Legislature pump more money into free childcare, preschool, free college, and K-12.

Perhaps the most under covered, but absolutely critical story in New Mexico is the precipitous decline in the number of students attending the State’s largest district: Albuquerque Public Schools.
