N.M. Stat. § 22-2C-8
The department may institute a "state improving schools program" that measures public school improvement through school safety, dropout rate, parent and community involvement and graduation and attendance rates. Those indicators may be weighed against socioeconomic variables such as the percentage of student mobility rates, the percentage of limited English proficient students using criteria established by the federal office of civil rights and the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-fee lunches and other factors determined by the department. Public schools that show the greatest improvement may be eligible for supplemental funding from the incentives for school improvement fund pursuant to Section 22-2C-9 NMSA 1978. Funding for the state improving schools program may include federal funds allowable under federal law or rule.
