THE SCHOOL BOARD IN RIO RANCHO IS LOOKING AT SEVERAL OPTIONS TO DEAL WITH OVERCROWDING AT SOME OF IT'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. DISTRICT SPOKESPERSON KIM VESELY TELLS 770 KKOB THE SCHOOLS ARE MAGGIE CORDOVA, MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR AND ERNEST STAPLETON. SHE SAYS THEY'RE EXAMINING A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO OVERCROWDING.
ONE THING THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS THE NUMBER OF OUT-OF-BOUNDARY STUDENTS TRANSFERRING INTO THOSE SCHOOLS. VESELY SAYS THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER WHETHER IT NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ON THAT.
SHE SAYS TWO OF THE SCHOOLS ALREADY HAVE RESTRICTIONS ON OUT OF DISTRICT TRANSFERS. IT'S POSSIBLE FINAL ACTION COULD BE TAKEN AT THE BOARD'S JANUARY 27TH MEETING.
