In past years New Mexico has successfully secured state funding to support afterschool programs. However, in an effort to balance the state budget, funding was zeroed out by the Legislature in 2011. The Legislature also passed a bill to establish a fund for full service community schools that would have supported afterschool programs, however the bill was vetoed by Gov. Susana Martinez. The governor is now leading the New Mexico Children's Cabinet, which includes afterschool as part of its agenda.

What leaders are saying in New Mexico:
We have an obligation to our children to make sure that their learning environment is as safe and healthy as possible. I support finding resources to renovate school buildings, improving school nutrition and physical education standards and programs, supporting after-school activities and encouraging schools to be part of the fabric of a community.
