Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 1060 appropriates $50.0 to PED for a restorative justice program at Amy Biehl char-
ter high school in the Albuquerque public school district.
Significant Issues

tion of Essential Schools.

entities: the person who has caused the harm, the victim and the commu-
nity in which the harm was caused.
