JULY 5-JULY 11, 2018 WEEKLY ALIBI [5] NEWS CITY BY JOSHUA LEE NEWS | EDITORIAL Candidates for Governor at Odds on Early Education The Long Distance Call Gubernatorial candidates Steve Pearce and Michelle Lujan Grisham spoke at New Mexico Don’t cry baby, don’t cry Voices for Children Kids Count conference last week, discussing their plans for the state's school system. Both candidates agreed on a number of educational issues. One point of interest where they differed greatly was their support of increased spending for state-funded early childhood education programs. This has become a hot topic in recent months, with advocates claiming that early childhood education can increase a student's chances to graduate and decrease their chances of ending up in prison. Lujan Grisham proposes taking an additional one percent from the state’s land grant permanent fund to pay for early childhood education programs. This decision would not be up to the governor, however. She also mentioned considering the creation of a new state department specifically to handle early childhood education.
