We
are proud to announce that Adam McKinney will be part of the first cohort of
LEAD:NM. LEAD stands for Leadership for Excellence,
Accountability, and Diversity.
LEAD
is “an initiative created to recruit, select, develop, and mentor
high-potential minority education leaders in pursuit of excellence in public
schools.”
The
cohort will meet over a 10-month period uniting individuals all across New
Mexico. Our schools rank poorly amongst
the nation and we can work together as a community to change this.

Adam’s
platform statement:
“As
an arts educator, I have had the pleasure of witnessing the ways in which
exposure to arts education can save lives. As a community, we must support
public schools in:
1.
Investing in culturally arts-based training and education for our tireless
educators;
2.
Creating historical contexts for teaching about and healing the hurts of
oppression; and
3.
Implementing peer-based learning opportunities by focusing on and funding
technology initiatives.”
