Area students score below state average
Local districts Gallup-McKinley Grants and Central Consolidated trail the state average on the CTBS and the high school competency exam. Fifth graders lag 10 to 40 percent on CTBS while about 25 percent fewer tenth graders pass the competency test. Educators cite socio economic factors and Native American student composition as influences, though Farmington contradicts that view.

Navajo budget timing sparks procedural clash
Navajo Speaker Nelson Gorman rejects a fast tracked fiscal year 1992 budget by the Budget and Finance Committee arguing the plan bypasses a full three branch process. He proposes a Jan 18 legislative review and says the change aims to let the incoming administration shape its own budget.
