Walsenburg community, Today the Walsenburg PD received a call stating that someone had a bomb and a gun in the school. The administration, staff and law enforcement took all the necessary steps to protect the students. We decided to dismiss early to assure the safety of the students. It appears that the call may be a random swatting attempt, because several districts in the front range received similar threats. We will be back to normal tomorrow.
Community, I would like to clear up the fact that the board did not fire Josh Vialpando, but instead they voted to non-renew his contract as assistant Principal for the 2026-2027 school year. He is still employed with the district, but will need to take a different role as teacher and coach.
/S/ Mr. Howard
