ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)- New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham says she wants sustained pay increases for public school employees after a recent round of salary hikes.
Teachers flocked Wednesday night to a town-hall style forum in Albuquerque where Lujan Grisham and three Cabinet secretaries answered questions about public education.
Governor Lujan Grisham said state-funded salary increases this year of at least 6% for public school employees were not enough and that pay for educators “cannot be stagnant.”
