This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 12 of the New Mexico Constitution, specifically by repealing Section 6 and introducing a new Section 6. The amendment aims to continue the Public Education Commission as the chartering authority for state-chartered charter schools while establishing a State Board of Education responsible for determining public school policy and overseeing the management and direction of public schools. The State Board will appoint a Superintendent of Public Instruction to implement its policies and supervise the Public Education Department.

The resolution outlines the composition and election process for the State Board of Education and the Public Education Commission, with each body consisting of ten members elected for staggered four-year terms. It also details the process for filling vacancies, the timing of elections, and the alignment of district boundaries for both entities. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters for approval or rejection at the next general election or any special election called before that date.
