The Greeley Bomb Squad will be on campus early Monday morning to remove the device.

BRUSH, Colo. — A “suspicious device” has closed down Brush School District, and an investigation is underway Monday morning.

The Greeley Bomb Squad will be on campus early Monday morning to remove the device. Until that happened, no staff or students were allowed 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,” Superintendent Marsha Cody said in a statement on the district website.

Later Monday, the Brush School District posted an update to Facebook that the Greeley Bomb Squad determined the suspicious device was neither an explosive nor a decoy device.

Instead, the district said the device was “made of materials of a similar type from a local residence.”

Classes will resume Tuesday, September 30, as normal. The junior varsity football game scheduled for 4 p.m. Monday will still take place as planned, according to the district.
