Tracy Goldeisen, editor of the Rio Rancho Observer, introduced the candidate forum, listed participating and not-participating candidates, and explained format and time limits (1-minute intro, 2 minutes per question).
A candidate forum for the Rio Rancho Public Schools Board of Education, moderated by Tracy Goldeisen of the Rio Rancho Observer, featured four candidates — Seth Miller (write-in, Dist. 1), Michael Berry (Dist. 3), Rebecca Murray (Dist. 5) and Quentin Middleton (Dist. 5) — discussing priorities including literacy, student behavior, superintendent selection, facilities and family engagement ahead of the Nov. 4 election. Candidates offered specific concerns (Rebecca cited math at 34% and reading at 50%) and proposals for community outreach, teacher support and budgeting. The forum was recorded and posted to the district YouTube and the Rio Rancho Observer channels.
