The Caldwell Police Department and Vallivue School District are aware of a false rumor circulating on social media regarding alleged cameras in a school locker room and the termination of a staff member.
After speaking directly with multiple parents and school administrators, there is no evidence to support these claims. Parents who were contacted stated that their students had heard the information from other students, and no student has reported firsthand knowledge or identified the source of the rumor. At this time, it is unknown where or when the false information originated.
School administrators have confirmed that no cameras were installed in any locker rooms, and no staff member was fired for any such allegation.
Caldwell Police encourage anyone with direct, factual information to contact the Police Department and/or school administration so it can be appropriately reviewed.
We understand that rumors involving student safety are alarming. We ask parents and community members to avoid sharing unverified information and to rely on official communication from the School District and Police Department. The safety and well-being of students remains our highest priority.
