The school in Colorado where a suspect lunged at a child on the schoolyard in what police believe is an attempted kidnapping has named an interim principal until a new principal can be named for the 2024-2025 school year. Solomon Galligan , 33, has been charged with one count of attempted kidnapping and remains in custody at the Arapahoe County Jail on $25,000.
Black Forest Hills Elementary has named Chuck Puga, the former principal of Smoky Hill High School, as acting principal at the elementary school through the end of the school year. The district will name a new principal for Black Forest Hills for the 2024-2025 school year in “the coming weeks.”
According to a statement from Cherry Creek School District: “At this point in our investigation, we have decided to make an administrative change at Black Forest Hills and have appointed an acting principal to serve in the final month. We are making this change as part of our commitment to ensure a safe and positive end of the school year.”
