TWO MORE SCHOOLS SLATED TO BUILT FOR RIO RANCHO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE DISTRICT’S FACILITIES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SAYS IT’S IN ANTICIPATION OF COMING STUDENT GROWTH. AS FOR WHAT THE SCHOOLS WOULD COST, AL SENA SAYS ESTIMATES ARE SOMEWHAT PREMATURE … BUT THEY WON’T COME CHEAP. HE SAYS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WILL COST BETWEEN 15-MILLION-DOLLARS AND 19-MILLION DOLLARS TO BUILD. THE HIGH SCHOOL WILL COST AT LEAST 100-MILLION DOLLARS.
SENA TELLS US THEY’D BUILD THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON 20 ACRES OF THE PROPERTY NEAR UNSER AND WEST SIDE BLVD … AND THE HIGH SCHOOL ON 100 ACRES.
CONSTRUCTION ISN’T EXPECTED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. THE DISTRICT FIRST HAS TO SEE HOW IT FARES IN NEXT SEPTEMBER’S BOND ELECTION.
