To the Brush School District Community:
Out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of our students and staff as our highest priority, all schools in the Brush School District will be closed on Monday, September 29, 2025.
Late Sunday evening, a suspicious device was discovered on the grounds of our secondary campus. Local law enforcement was immediately contacted, and the Brush Police Department and Fire Department responded promptly to conduct a thorough search of the grounds at Brush Secondary Campus. Thomson Primary School and Beaver Valley Elementary were also searched as a precautionary measure. While the initial assessment has been completed, we will not resume normal operations until the device has been examined by specialized experts.
A police officer will remain on-site throughout the night to secure the campus. The Greeley Bomb Squad will arrive early Monday morning to assess and safely remove the device. Until the device has been examined by these experts and the area has been fully cleared, no staff or students will be permitted on campus.
This means there will be no classes for any grade level on Monday. All staff should not report to work, and all athletic practices and on-site events scheduled for Monday are cancelled. School facilities will be closed to the public. However, the Brush Secondary Campus softball game scheduled to take place off-site Monday evening will continue as planned.
We understand this news is concerning for our community. Please know that we are working closely with law enforcement and following all recommended safety protocols. The decision to close school was made in consultation with local authorities and reflects our commitment to ensuring a safe environment before bringing students and staff back to campus.
We will provide an update at noon on Monday regarding the status of school facilities and operations for Tuesday, September 30. If all school sites are able to be secured by noon on Monday, September 29, the JV football game currently scheduled for 4:00 p.m. on Monday will take place as planned. All practices will remain cancelled for Monday. If you have questions in the meantime, please contact the District Office at 970-842-5176.
The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community will always be our first priority. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this situation.
Sincerely,
Marsha Cody
Superintendent, Brush School District RE-2(J)
