Lawyers representing Native American students say New Mexico is violating a 2018 court order in a landmark education case as attempts to boost internet access and provide learning devices are falling short.
The case covers 80% of the state s students, including Native Americans and those who are low-income or disabled.
Lawyers representing the students say educational opportunities would not have been as inadequate had the state complied with the court order and ensured access to technology for all students.
In a motion filed Tuesday, they asked a court to compel the state to provide laptops and internet to students who still lack them.
Close to close prices hide what was a very noisy day in the markets with bonds, the dollar, and the broadest stock index flat-ish until some last minute malarkey. Headline hockey between The Fed flop - not delivering the QE Twist that so many had hoped for (but promising more will come) - and the constant optimistic headlines from Washington over COVID Relief. As a side note, no one seemed to care that US retail sales were a major miss, homebuilder optimism rolled over, and gasoline demand continues to collapse in the US.
Just be careful what s under the surface.

Top New Mexico Health Official Hopeful About Vaccine Rollout
- By Susan Montoya Bryan, Associated Press
The new state health chief says the arrival of vaccines in New Mexico marks a turning point and she s hopeful for a brighter day as people get vaccinated over the coming months.
Still, health Secretary Tracie Collins said Tuesday that while vaccination will prevent COVID-19 infection, there is more that needs to be learned about how effective inoculations will be in stemming transmission of the virus.
She says that means residents still need to wear masks, maintain social distancing, wash their hands often and keep up with other COVID-safe practices.
