Dr. Hill: students injured in weekend bus accident "making positive progress"
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Hill told the Mesa County Valley School District No. 51 board that a "few students who remain in the hospital are making positive progress in their recovery," thanked first responders and other districts for support, and said specific details remain withheld while the situation is active.
Dr. Hill read a district message to the board reporting on a bus accident involving District 51 students and staff over the weekend.
"The few students who remain in the hospital are making positive progress in their recovery," Dr. Hill said in the statement, thanking staff, families, first responders and other districts that offered help. He said the district is “unable to share specific details at this time” out of respect for families while information is being verified.
Dr. Hill urged the community to avoid circulating unverified rumors and said the district will release additional information when it is appropriate to do so. The board approved adding Dr. Hill’s update as a late agenda item and heard the statement near the start of the meeting.
No names, medical details or other identifying specifics about the injured students were provided during the board meeting. The district emphasized its current priority is supporting affected students, staff and families and thanked the community for offers of assistance.
