Las Cruces Public Schools announces 2 superintendent finalists
LAS CRUCES, New Mexico Las Cruces Public Schools on Monday named two finalists for its vacant superintendent s post, with one of the pair being the district s interim superintendent.
The school board voted back on March 1 to name Ralph Ramos as temporary superintendent while board members looked for a permanent school chief, for which he is under consideration.
The other finalist candidate is Oscar Rico, who is currently the director of information technology for the Canutillo Independent School District.
Whoever is selected will replace former superintendent Karen Trujillo, who was struck by a van on Feb. 25 while walking her two dogs and later died from her injuries.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made us all very aware of each others vapors and droplets. We learned how important it is to mask up to keep the moisture we breathe out from reaching others around us and that being outside where there is fresh, circulating air is the best way to interact with one another, but what about when we are inside?
It turns out that there are air purifiers that can help sanitize the air we breathe inside, but they can run into some money, and they are most needed in public spaces like restaurants, bars, and schools. That s where Helen of Troy comes in. El Paso is the U.S. headquarters of Helen of Troy. They are located on the far west side of town and they have donated 50 Honeywell HEPA Certified air purifiers to the Canutillo Independent School District.
