SANTA FE - The Legislative Education Study Committee has backed proposed legislation that would require public schools to increase the amount of time all students spend learning next school year. The idea is to address learning loss that has resulted from the pandemic.
But, according to the proposal, the extra classroom time would be contingent on in-person instruction being allowed.
A draft of the bill says elementary schools could extend schooling through the K-5 Plus program, which would add 25 days to the school year, or through the Extended Learning Time Program, which lengthens the year by 10 days. Middle and high schools would use the Extended Learning Time Program.
