Parachute – Grand Valley High School officials canceled classes Friday after nearly two-thirds of the students were absent the day before following threats left on bathroom walls at the school.
The notes suggested the threats would be acted on at the end of the week and had appeared on walls over the past two weeks, Garfield School District No. 16 spokeswoman Sandy Hanson said.
Police, school board members and parents monitored the halls and escorted students to bathrooms Thursday, when only 85 of the school’s 235 students attended classes.
Hanson said extra security, including police officers, will be added through the end of the school year.
