PUEBLO WEST — Parents, families, and staff in Pueblo School District 70 received an email from the school district that three separate schools will be closed due to threats.

The following schools will be closed while the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office investigates the threats:

  • Liberty Point International School
  • District 70 Online Learning Academy, Pueblo West Campus
  • Swallows Charter Academy

On Monday, the sheriff’s office “will be providing additional resources and will conduct checks at all District 70 campuses to help ensure student and staff safety,” according to a representative from D70.

According to the school district, there have been “reports of potential threats via multiple channels,” but we have learned that the threats were made through an alleged email.

News5 obtained a screenshot of the alleged email, but is not sharing it due to the graphic nature of the email, and while we work to verify its validity.
