School principals rehired

Los Lunas

Superintendent Danny Burnett on Tuesday publicly thanked local legislators Kandy Cordova, Michael Sanchez and Fred Luna for their help in obtaining capital outlay moneys for the district.

“Their support moved the governor to sign,” he said.

The district received funding to add baseball and softball lights, a swimming pool cover and a teacher resource center, as well as equipment.

“We owe those folks a thank you for their effort in Santa Fe. It’s nice to have the legislature bring revenue to the district.”
