N.M. Admin. Code § 6.27.30.24 - STANDARDS VARIANCE
A. The
council may grant a variance from any of the adequacy standards. The council
shall grant a variance if it determines that the intent of the standard can be
met by the school in an alternate manner, or if a variance is required for
appropriate programmatic needs as demonstrated by the district. If the council
grants the variance, the school shall be deemed to have met the
standard.
B. The council may, with
adequate justification, also grant a variance from any of the provisions of the
New Mexico public school adequacy planning guide provided by the state for use
in the programming and design of school projects. Such variance shall be
considered through an appeal to the council by the school district following a
final administrative interpretation of the planning guide. Procedures for
achieving final administrative interpretation and filing an appeal to the
council for a variance are as provided for in the planning guide
document.
