Bill
SB 105
SB 105 modifies New Mexico school excused absence policies to prioritize student success, potentially broadening what qualifies as excused absences.
SB 105 appears to establish or modify excused absence policies and attendance requirements in New Mexico schools, with a stated focus on student success. The bill was recently referred to three Senate committees—suggesting it involves cross-cutting policy areas including education administration, education itself, and health/public affairs matters.
Attendance policies directly affect student academic outcomes, graduation rates, and school funding (which often ties to daily attendance). The bill's reference to health and public affairs committees suggests it may address health-related absences, mental health days, or other non-traditional absence categories that have become increasingly relevant post-pandemic.
