 Each school’s election is separate, and voters must cast their ballots at the school during regular office hours or as otherwise provided at each school (such as during registration). Rio Rancho residents aged 18 or older may vote in any school’s council election. School staff members may vote at the school where they are employed, and parents at the school their child attends.
For more detailed information about each school’s election, please contact the school. Use the form below to view each school's current list of candidates.
School councils consist of two school staff members,
two parents, and two community representatives
who must be Rio Rancho residents or have a student enrolled
in a Rio Rancho public school. The principal serves as
an active member of the council. Business people who are
parents or community members are especially encouraged
to run for school councils. Parents whose children are
not currently enrolled at a school but who will be enrolled
by the beginning of the next school year may run for that
school’s council. (For example, parents of incoming
6th graders may run at middle schools.)
Advisory school councils advise school principals on budgets,
curriculum, and rules and policies. School council members
are also expected to be champions for students in building
community support for schools, develop creative ways to
involve parents in schools, and where appropriate, help
to connect schools and students to business resources and
opportunities.
