"Susana Martinez says she's pro-teacher," November 7, 2013. |
- During her 2013 State of the State address, Susana Martinez requested that the New Mexico State Legislature approve her request for "$11.3 million to recruit, retain, and reward our best educators."[1]
- In December 2013, Martinez proposed "a 10 percent salary hike for new teachers and stipends for educators who score highly on state-mandated evaluations," according to The Albuquerque Journal. Martinez said, "Those who are most effective with their students should be rewarded and recognized financially."[2]
- In March 2011, Martinez "signed Senate Bill 427 into law, creating a transparent A-F school grading system for New Mexico’s schools," according to a press release. She said, "The first step to ensuring every student has access to a quality education is establishing a strong foundation of accountability and transparency. This common-sense reform is a victory for all of us who believe that parents, students, and community members have a right to know how their schools are performing. Assigning a simple letter grade to New Mexico’s schools provides a clear picture of which ones are succeeding, which ones are failing and how we can best target resources to the schools and students most in need of help."[3]
- According to her campaign website, "Martinez strongly supports charter schools."[4]
