M dwarfs constitute ~70% of the stars in our local neighborhood, yet we know little about the frequency and evolution of debris disks and planetary systems for this diverse spectral class. We have discovered three new M dwarf debris disks with our Cycle-4 Spitzer program observing X-ray saturated, nearby, young M dwarfs. We propose to confirm the excesses with IRS observations, and to constrain disk properties from the SED. Combining our sample with previous Spitzer observations, we will constrain the age evolution, frequency, and dynamics of M dwarf debris disks to place into context disks around solar type stars.
