Now that we are in the month of October, we want to let you know how many positive COVID-19 cases Rio Rancho Public Schools had in the month of September. The case counts only include those students, staff, and contractors who were present at an RRPS facility while in their infectious period.
For the month of September 2021, Rio Rancho Public Schools ended with a total of 173 positive cases.
Rio Rancho Public Schools is actively monitoring the case counts and will deploy enhanced COVID safety protocols should we see our infection rate at any school reach 3% or higher in a 14 day period. At this time, we do not have any schools approaching that level for infection rates. Currently, Rio Rancho Public Schools has more robust safety protocols than are required by NMPED and we will continue to do all we can to keep our students and staff save during the continuing COVID-19 public health pandemic.
