House Memorial 30 requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to conduct a comprehensive study on public education governance in New Mexico. The resolution highlights the complexities of the state's education system, emphasizing the need for a coherent governance structure that aligns with the findings of the Martinez-Yazzie v. State of New Mexico ruling, which identified failures in meeting the educational needs of at-risk students. The bill advocates for the establishment of a formal, legislatively authorized working group to evaluate governance options, assess roles and responsibilities, and make recommendations aimed at improving educational equity and quality for all students.

The working group is tasked with reviewing existing strategic plans, considering the feasibility of a statewide education commission, and collaborating with various stakeholders, including state departments, educators, and community organizations. The resolution also calls for the development of a process to appoint additional members to the working group and allows for the organization of subgroups to focus on specific aspects of education governance. A report detailing the committee's research and recommendations is expected to be published by November 30, 2026.
