Can anyone tell me please about the health insurance available to teachers in New Mexico? I'm thinking of moving the family up from NY, and my husband has a pre- existing condition and will need dialysis.
LoriEach district has its own insurance offerings, it is not state-wide. It is also pretty expensive in comparison to the wages. When I carried my husband and daughter, my premiums were over 10% of my income! In addition to housing costs way out of line compared to wages...it's not an inexpensive place to live. Lori S
Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Please contact NCRCR at [email removed].
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,

We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances.

Can someone tell me please about the health insurance and benefits for the gallup-mckinnley district? I have a young daughter and a husband with a health condition.... Thanks
GMCS benefits are great, but very expensive. Nearly half of your paycheck will go to benefits. I couldn't afford working for them. I now teach on the rez...
cjodeI agree with the previous post -- good but expensive. I did not like working for that district, they were very data driven and I am not very good at that. Gallup is not a place to raise kids, either. Gallup itself is an expensive place to live. Get your daughter on NM REAP to look for other jobs. Good luck.
I will soon be starting a Postcard lesson to learn about the 50 states. I am hoping to receive a postcard from every state with a state fact written on it.... can someone please send us one from NM?
Thanks in advance!

I am relocating to NM and I have been sending out resumes since Feb... Does anyone know when I should start worrying about getting hired? When do most schools officially hire? May? This is my first year out of college, thanks for the help.

ChanWell, I've been trying to get a position in Texas so that I can start my first year of teaching (I'm a career-changer who is involved in an alternative certification program there). I don't suppose that would put me in the running for a position in your school district?
