New Mexico judge temporarily halts 180-day school calendar mandate due to legal challenge.
A New Mexico judge has temporarily halted a state mandate requiring school districts to adopt calendars with at least 180 days, as dozens of districts and their superintendents challenge the change. The judge granted a preliminary injunction, stating the rule contradicts the Legislature's intention to extend the number of hours children spend in the classroom and time teachers have for professional development.
