                           New Mexico ARP ESSER State Plan Highlights
Total ARP ESSER allocation for New Mexico: $979,761,933
ARP ESSER funding released to New Mexico on March 24, 2021: $652,704,171
ARP ESSER funding released to New Mexico on July 22, 2021: $327,057,762
2020-2021 Preliminary Statewide Enrollment: 316,840


Top Priorities within New Mexico’s plan:
   • Improving students’ and schools’ access to technology
   • Addressing learning gaps in critical content areas, particularly early literacy and mathematics
   • Recruiting and retaining a quality educator workforce

Highlights of New Mexico’s Plan:
    •   Returning to In Person Learning in 2021: All LEAs began offering full-time, in-person
        learning as of April 5, 2021. All LEAs will be expected to open fully for in-person learning for
        next school year.

    •   Safely Reopening Schools and Sustaining Safe Operations: All school staff members who
        wanted to be vaccinated received at least a first dose of the vaccine by the first week of April.
        Schools have also been encouraged to host onsite vaccination events facilitated through the
        Department of Health (DOH) if the school can organize at least 25 individuals to be vaccinated.
        Additional incentives for encouraging student and staff vaccinations are being planned.

    •   Understanding the Impact of the Pandemic to Target Resources and Support: NMPED will
        examine pre- and post-COVID interim assessment results to determine student achievement and
        growth using disaggregated data and will use this information to target resources and support.
        School districts were encouraged to continue giving interim assessments during remote learning
        for the 2020-21 school year.

    •   Addressing the Academic Impact of Lost Instructional Time: The New Mexico Public
        Education Department (NMPED) will use $22 million in ARP ESSER funds to support strategies
        to accelerate learning. This includes professional learning on academic acceleration, communities
        of practice for educators and administrators, developing high-dosage tutoring programs which
        include evidence-based curriculum and pedagogy, and peer-to-peer tutoring and mentoring.

    •   Investing in Summer Learning Programs: NMPED established a joint internship in tribal,
        county, or municipal governments, between NMPED and local municipalities, for students and to
        reengage at-risk youth for the 2021-22 school year using $6 million in ARP ESSER funding. In
        addition, NMPED will use $3.8 million in ARP ESSER funding to provide grants to districts and
        partner organizations to run summer programs in five key areas: 1) STEM programs, 2) outdoor,
        environmental education programs, 3) museum-based, arts, or cultural programs, 4) at-risk youth
        and teen-oriented programs, 5) land-based, agricultural, or career and technical education (CTE)
        programs.
•   Investing in Afterschool Programs: NMPED will provide a request for applications to
    community organizations to provide evidence-based services to students, including expanding
    Community Schools, which provide extended learning time and wraparound services. These
    programs will use hands-on learning experiences and encourage discovery and team-building.
    NMPED will also use ARP ESSER funds to provide paid internships for high school students.

•   When New Mexico’s LEA Use of Funds Plans will be due: August 24, 2021
