Rio Rancho Public Schools has been doing its best through its Department of Student Transportation to facilitate that, although that department’s executive director, Lynn Carl, said student behavior – sometimes a factor in safety – is an increasing problem.
Rio Rancho Public Schools Board of Education members didn’t see an overflow crowd at its Monday meeting, which a few may have suspected considering the possibility of extending “walk zones” for students. The intent was to help alleviate the district’s transportation woes, considering the nationwide problem of finding enough drivers for buses to get kids to and from school.
Although Rio Rancho Public Schools’ new Career-Technical Education building, formerly housing the Alliance Data call center, wasn’t anticipated to welcome students inside until the 2023-24 school year, members of the RRPS Board of Education heard Monday evening there are plans to have small-engine automotive students and welding students there as early as August and the start of the 2022-23 school year.
