Snow delays and power outage disrupt Rio Rancho schools
District officials initially delayed two hours then canceled the middle school alert as buses rolled to campus. A 17 year old driver lost control near the public library, hitting a transformer and causing outages that closed Loma Colorado Main Library and delayed the Rio Rancho Aquatic Center. Students faced reassignments to gym and cafeteria while power was restored, with several families reporting late or missing buses and communication gaps noted by officials.
