DocumentIcon.jpg See law: New Mexico Statute Section 1-22-3

Recent or upcoming election dates for all public school districts in the state

Below are the recent/upcoming dates for all public school districts in the state. There may be exceptions to these dates for specific districts because of local charters and district-specific exceptions and carve-outs.

DocumentIcon.jpg See law: New Mexico Statute Section 1-22-3

Party labels on the ballot

See also: Rules governing party labels in school board elections

School board elections in New Mexico are nonpartisan, which means party labels do not appear on the ballot for school board candidates. New Mexico Statute Section 1-22-3(B) states, "A regular local election shall be a nonpartisan election, and the names of all candidates shall be listed on the ballot with no party or slate designation."

DocumentIcon.jpg See law: New Mexico Statute Section 1-22-3

Winning an election

The school board candidate that receives the largest number of votes in the general election is elected to office.

DocumentIcon.jpg See law: New Mexico Constitution Article VII Section 5

Term length and staggering

School board members have four-year terms.

DocumentIcon.jpg See law: New Mexico Statute 22-5-8

School districts elect as close as to half of their school board members as possible at one general election, and the other half at a general election two years later. Upon the formation of a newly created, three school board members will be elected for two-year terms and the other two school board members will be elected for four-year terms to ensure staggered elections. Albuquerque School District is the only district with seven board members, and elects four school board members at one general election and the other three school board members two years later.

DocumentIcon.jpg See law: New Mexico Statute 22-4-13

Representation: at large vs. by sub-district

School board members are elected either at large or from single-member election subdistricts, depending on the size of the school district. As of 2022, 28 districts (31%) had board members elected by single-member district and 61 districts (69%) had board members elected by at-large.

School board members in districts having a population in excess of 16,000 must be elected from single-member subdistricts.

School boards in districts with less than 16,000 population have the option of establishing single-member board subdistricts or continuing to elect members at large.

DocumentIcon.jpg See law: New Mexico Statute 22-5-1.1 & New Mexico School Boards Association Handbook Chapter II Section A

Filing deadlines and swearing-in dates

School board candidates must file declarations of candidacy by 5:00 PM on the 70th day prior to the election.

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[2]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)
