New Mexico lawmakers clash over testing, top down versus bottom up buy in, and the leadership of Hanna Skandera. Bills HB 249 and HB 251 propose different mixes of tests, observations, and student learning measures, with a compromise passing the House but dying in the Senate. Other bills aimed for council recommended evaluations but faced Senate resistance.
