| ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico’s attorney general said Monday he will investigate how the state’s largest school district hired a high-level administrator who faces child sex abuse charges in Colorado. The district’s new superintendent, meanwhile, faces increasing pressure to resign over the debacle. Attorney General Hector Balderas announced his office will look into why Albuquerque Public Schools’ safety protocols were dismissed and former deputy superintendent Jason Martinez was hired in June before a background check was completed. Superintendent Luis Valentino hired Martinez to head the district’s instruction and technology division. Martinez resigned abruptly last week. It later surfaced that he faces four felony counts of sexual assault on a child in Colorado involving two victims. Two previous counts have been dismissed, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
