HB30

Teacher Residency Act Changes

Complete·3/9/26

New Mexico HB30 amends the Teacher Residency Act to adjust stipends for teaching residents and expand employment opportunities.

New Mexico HB30 modifies the Teacher Residency Act by setting stipends for teaching residents at a percentage of the statutory minimum salary for level one teachers, based on their qualifications. It also allows teaching residents to work at any public school after completing the residency, rather than being limited to schools in the sponsoring district. Additionally, the bill requires partner school districts or charter schools to offer employment to teaching residents, contingent on staffing needs and performance.
