    |
0015|     
    |
0016|       WHEREAS, school administrators are responsible for
    |
0017|     implementing and creating policies that have direct implications
    |
0018|     for the rights and academic achievements of special education
    |
0019|     students, such as day-to-day discipline, inclusionary programs
    |
0020|     and budget making; and
    |
0021|       WHEREAS, administrators at the district level create and
    |
0022|     implement policies that have direct implications for the rights
    |
0023|     of special education students, such as suspensions and
    |
0024|     expulsions, budget-making authority and transportation; and
    |
0025|       WHEREAS, proposed changes to the public school funding

    |
0004|     not had training in special education administration; and
    |
0005|       WHEREAS, more schools and school districts are moving
    |
0006|     toward inclusion and more special education students now attend
    |
0007|     neighborhood schools; and
    |
0008|       WHEREAS, special education laws and regulations at the
    |
0009|     state and federal levels continue to evolve and school
    |
0010|     administrators would benefit from having a background in special
    |
0011|     education issues, particularly in assisting them with school
    |
0012|     discipline;
    |
0013|       NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
    |
0014|     STATE OF NEW MEXICO that state department of public education
    |
0015|     assess the current competencies for school administrators to
    |
0016|     determine whether they adequately reflect the training necessary
    |
0017|     for administering special education programs; and
    |
0018|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the state department of public
    |
0019|     education study whether existing educational administration
    |
0020|     programs provided by New Mexico post-secondary institutions
    |
0021|     adequately address special education issues; and
    |
0022|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the state department of public
    |
0023|     education study licensure requirements necessary for requiring
    |
0024|     administrators to receive training regarding special education
    |
0025|     issues through continuing education units or college credit
    |
0001|     through education administrator preparation programs; and
    |
0002|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the state department of public
    |
0003|     education report its findings to the legislative education study
    |
0004|     committee for possible legislative recommendations by November
