“Come on, Rio Rancho school district You have to be kidding. Taking away booster club money the kids and parents raise is just not right. You wasted so much money building a new high school with way too many extras, that could have been used for substitute teachers. I, as a parent, will refuse to work any concession stand that will not support my daughter’s team 100 percent.”

“I saw on the news that Mayor Swisstack is asking for public input from residents about what they want or do not want in the city. I do not think it matters. From his past track record, he will only take suggestions that are things he wanted to do in the first place to make it look like he’s listening to what the residents want. Maybe Rio Rancho should be renamed Swisstackville. I am very disappointed with him and hope for a new Mayor in the next election.”

“I have three children in three different RRPS schools, one in middle school, one at the ‘old’ high school and the other at the district’s pride and joy Cleveland High. I would like to know why all three of my kids have between 30 and 45 students in each one of their classes. The district cries that there is no money to hire more teachers and (education assistants) so classroom numbers could be smaller. Somehow though, there was money for a VIP dinner for 300 people and a firework show at their grand opening of CHS. This will not help our children’s education! It’s way past time that we as parents, taxpayers and community members deserve answers. Someone needs to be held accountable for this mess that is our school system. Does anybody care?” “All you dog walkers that travel along Lawrence Avenue in Enchanted Hills: pick up your dog’s mess. Every evening there are several walkers that travel this path and leave dog excrement along the way. Who do you think has to pick up your dog’s mess? Travel along this road and see this health hazard. It is disgusting and there is a school bus stop on this street. Have some respect for your fellow neighbor and clean it up.”
