State Public Education Secretary Ryan Stewart says he'll tap into currents of optimism as New Mexico brings new resources to bear on immense challenges at public schools, during an interview in his office in Santa Fe, N.M., on Monday, Sept. 9, 2019. Stewart was selected last month by Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to oversee a long list of public education reforms as the state confronts a court order to improve the quality of schooling. The state has provided money to raise teacher salaries and extend school calendars as it overhauls systems for student testing, teacher job evaluations and school ratings. (AP Photo/Morgan Lee)
