Gym Teacher Fakes Bomb Threat to Avoid Going to Work

       Jennifer Gomes, 42, a teacher at the Escuela de Guadalupe school in Denver, is charged with one count of false reporting of explosives, said Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney’s Office.

       Gomes admitted to police that she placed a note outside the school’s main entrance earlier this month that read, “There is a bomb inside,” according to a probable cause statement.
        Escuela de Guadalupe, which is not affiliated with the Archdiocese of Denver, is a Catholic elementary school located in Denver’s largely Hispanic northwest side.
        Its mission is to make students proficient in both Spanish and English, according to the school’s website.
        David Card, president of the school, said in a statement he was “unable to comment on personnel matters.”
