New Mexico must immediately ensure that at-risk students lacking the technology needed for online learning get devices and internet access under a state District Court ruling Friday.
In what’s known as the Yazzie-Martinez lawsuit, a judge previously found that the state violated the constitutional rights of students – particularly those who are from low-income homes, are English language learners, Native American or have a disability – by failing to provide them with a sufficient education. Late last year as many schools remained closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Yazzie plaintiffs asked the court to step in and order the state to provide necessary technology for virtual learning to kids who need it.
