N.M. Admin. Code § 6.27.30.2
The purpose of this rule is to provide statewide adequacy standards for public school buildings and grounds. The application of these standards shall be limited to space and attributes needed to support educational programs and curricula, defined and justified as required by public education department standards and benchmarks, and that is sustainable within the operational budget for staffing, maintenance, and full utilizations of the facilities. The New Mexico public school statewide adequacy standards are dynamic and the council plans to review them periodically, and amend them as time and circumstances require. These standards are intended for use in the evaluation of baseline requirements for existing public school facilities and are not intended to limit the flexibility of design solutions for new construction and renovation projects. The New Mexico public school adequacy planning guide is a companion document provided by the state for use in the programming and design of school projects . The New Mexico public school adequacy planning guide is incorporated by reference into these standards, and may be amended by the council with adequate notice and input from the public.
