Districts desiring other courses are encouraged to contact Carol Roberts at carol.roberts@state.nm.us
Some courses may require textbooks; schools may obtain textbooks directly from the course vendor or contact IDEAL-NM office for assistance (505-383-2400) or virtualschool@idealnm.info.
Courses may be accessed by students any time: day or evening. The most commonly used model is for schools to register students and give them computer access at a scheduled time during the regular school day to complete their coursework. Schools needing other courses are encouraged to let us know so that we might schedule courses to meet those needs.
Registration:
Schools are requested to designate one staff member to register students and act as a site
coordinator for IDEAL-NM courses.
Course Fees:
Districts will be invoiced $200 for each semester seat. Regional Education Cooperatives
have special incentives for member districts. Districts will be invoiced for IDEAL-NM
semester course fees on the following semester cycle: September 15, January 15 and June 15.
Districts may drop students for non-participation or other reasons before those dates without
incurring course fees.
