This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 12, Section 6 of the New Mexico Constitution, which aims to establish an appointed State Board of Education responsible for setting public school policy and appointing a Superintendent of Public Instruction to oversee the Public Education Department. The Board will consist of nine members who are knowledgeable about public education in New Mexico and will be appointed according to the law. The Superintendent, appointed by the Board, will manage the department's operations in alignment with the Board's policies.

Additionally, the resolution retains the elected Public Education Commission, which will serve as the chartering authority for state-chartered charter schools and will have other powers and duties as defined by law. The amendment will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election called for that purpose.
