Janet Martinez
Board Member

Mrs. Martinez is a graduate of Mesa Vista Consolidated School District. Two of her children have also graduated from Mesa Vista High School and the third is currently at Ojo Caliente Elementary. She is also the grandmother of twins.

Janet feels that there are changes in the education of our students that concern the School Board, not just here in the State of New Mexico but nationally. Our students are our future and deserve to have the best possible education that the Mesa Vista School District can provide. As a community we need to educate each and every one of our children. Mrs. Martinez chose to serve on the school board for all students, not just one student, and for all communities, not just one community.
