Mesa Alta Junior High School Principal Colin Mize, who has faced claims of inappropriate and possibly criminal behavior since 2021, continues to be a subject of an investigation. School officials have.
Since Carlsbad Municipal Schools returned to in-person learning on March 29, hundreds of students were quarantined after potential exposure to COVID-19, about year after the pandemic first struck New Mexico and led to districts throughout the state shifting to virtual classes.
Superintendent Gerry Washburn said a total of 733 students were placed on quarantine, about 8.4 percent of the 8,660 students in the district, per the National Center for Education Statistics.
There were 19 confirmed student cases of COVID-19 since the return to full, in-person learning – eight in elementary school, four in middle school and seven in high school.
Meanwhile, 25 staff members were quarantined since March 29, with four confirmed cases.

High School senior shares impact of school shutting down due to COVID-19 cases
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (KOAT) A student at Eldorado High called the school’s forced closure due to COVID-19 cases a “big disappointment.”
Eldorado High is the first public school in the state that’s been forced to close after more than 10 students and faculty tested positive.
“I think a lot of people are missing out,” said Joseph Leyba, a senior at Eldorado High. “I think I’m one of them.”
A senior year that’s anything but normal.
Joseph Leyba plays on the football team at Eldorado High. Their season took place in the spring, not fall and instead of a crowd of fans, there were near-empty stands. Now one week after the school is finally back open, the state shut it down.
