———SANTA FE, N.M. -- Some grade schools in New Mexico will be allowed to have in-person learning next week, but it’s unclear how many are signing up. The majority of counties in the state have low enough coronavirus case rates to allow for students to attend two days per week. But Public Education Department Secretary Ryan Stewart says the state will not mandate in-person learning during the coronavirus pandemic. Albuquerque Public Schools, the state’s largest district, has decided against nearly all in-person learning until January. Stewart says the situation is fluid and some school boards could announce in-person learning plans for younger students as soon as Friday.
