New Mexico governor and National Guard troops volunteer to substitute teach amid state's COVID...

New Mexico's Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has called on the National Guard to fill in for teachers amid the state's COVID surge. The governor herself has also been substituting for classes.


"We did math. We learned about syllables. We did a watercolor art project," Grisham said.

At least 80 members of the National Guard have volunteered to be substitute teachers after regular teachers have been sidelined due to COVID.
