N.M. Stat. § 22-1-16
Parental guidance for water safety.
A. Each local school board and governing body of a charter school shall develop or
adopt digital or written guidance for parents that promotes student safety in, on and
around bodies of water and water infrastructure, including information about local
options for age-appropriate swimming lessons and other water safety courses.
B. Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, all public schools shall provide the
parents of each student with the guidance developed pursuant to Subsection A of this

wide or school-specific handbook published for parents and students; provided that the
public school receives written acknowledgment of a parent's receipt of the handbook.
