Join Amanda for a conversation with Matt Pahl, Executive Director of Public Charter Schools of New Mexico and Dominica Chavez, NewMexicoKidsCAN’s own Advocacy Manager. Together the three discuss this year’s legislative session and how education was addressed, or not addressed for that matter. Tune in to hear the highs, the lows, and everything in between!
