Promises Kept!
Since
the district was founded in 1994, through eight bond elections voters
have entrusted Rio Rancho Public Schools with $358 million in property
tax revenue for school construction and renovation, as well as up to $4.5 million annually for school maintenance and technology generated by the two-mill capital improvements levy. With that trust
comes an obligation on the part of the school district to complete the
projects it promised the voters who approved the issuance of the bonds.
RRPS takes this obligation seriously.
In the past 25 years, RRPS has built or purchased buildings for
fourteen school campuses (including all four high schools) to meet the
needs of a rapidly-growing community. Two additional campuses are under construction. The district has completed hundreds of
projects at its schools, including classroom and support facility
additions, roofing, heating and cooling improvements, technology
infrastructure, facilities for athletics and fine arts, and more.
Click on the links in the column at right to view lists of completed
projects from previous bond issues and the status of projects promised
in the most recent bond elections. Keep in mind that when bond
elections are approved, the money becomes available over a period of
years, rather than immediately after the passage of the bond issue.
Therefore, some projects from the most recent bond issues are still in
progress.
Thank you to the citizens of Rio Rancho for your trust and support.
