We are pleased to announce that Mr. Kevin Summers is our new Superintendent!
“I'm excited to return to Bloomfield and look forward to working alongside our great staff in order to provide amazing opportunities for our students.” - Kevin Summers
Mr. Summers has been a familiar face in our district, starting as our Curriculum Director in 2017.
He has been in education for 16 years, serving as a secondary Science Teacher, Dean of Students, Principal, Director of Curriculum & Instruction, and Superintendent with experience in California, Texas & New Mexico.
Editor's Note: Listeners and viewers of KSJE heard the news Tuesday morning from retiring Bloomfield Superintendent Dr. Kim Mizell:
The New Mexico Department of Justice has investigated fuel prices in San Juan County under prior Attorneys General. Investigations were inconclusive, but there was relief at the pump for a brief period. “We just want to be assured that San Juan County is paying what’s fair at the pump,” said Commissioner Lanier. “With limited competition between brands, it is worth checking out.”
Deputies responded to reports of a shooting and located 18-year-old Elihue Vialpando, who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. A second victim, Jack Chavez, suffered a gunshot wound to his leg and was transported to San Juan Regional Medical Center for treatment. Witness statements revealed Vialpando brandished a pistol and fired rounds earlier in the night, but based on the timeline of events and witness statements, did not support actions by Thomas Vigil.
The suspect escaped during Sunday afternoon church services. He asked to go to the bathroom and never returned, immediately initiating a count and search of the facility.
This is the first escape in the 31-year history of the jail-based treatment center.
Earlier this week, Jacob Marriott was sentenced after pleading guilty to 4 counts of Manufacturing of Child Pornography (2nd Degree Felony), 1 count of Possession of Child Pornography (4th Degree Felony), and 2 counts of Voyeurism of a Child Under 18 (3rd Degree Felony).
