Meador resigns as Jemez superintendent
Jemez Valley Public Schools Superintendent O Adrian Meador announced his resignation at a board meeting. The resignation is effective July 31, with Meador using accrued vacation in July and planning to remain involved. Meador, 54, will pursue a return to teaching in Texas, citing family ties and a belief a person should not stay too long in one district. Board members expressed concern about unfinished budget work and stalled district plans, including a revised Rio Rancho middle school plan that was debated before the resignation. Architect Bill Fanning outlined temporary portable classrooms and a future core site, with a schedule risk if plans delay further.

DARE officer not legally drunk in Rio Rancho crash
Blood tests show Sandoval County DARE officer Jorge Trujillo level at 0.06 percent and Evonne Joiner of Joiner Construction at 0.03 percent. Rio Rancho law sets 0.08 as legal limit, so neither driver was intoxicated. Trujillo, 38, involved in a head on collision June 10 on Idalia Road near Northern Boulevard, claimed three beers prior to the accident. Joiner has had charges dismissed due to the low BAC.
