The administrative office will be closed today at 12. Normal business hours will resume tomorrow.

There is currently a rumor going around that ICE is in Burlington and walking around with guns. That is false information and never occurred. There was an individual involved in an incident that was quickly found by the police department and taken into custody. There is no threat to the community. If you don’t have a legitimate source for your information please don’t spread rumors. That only makes things worse and creates other problems.

01/16/2026

I-70 and HWY 24 are closed both directions for all high profile vehicles from limon to the state line.
