Los Alamos Public Schools is committed to becoming a more welcoming district that is responsive to and inclusive of people of all backgrounds and identities, Healthy Schools Director Kristine Coblentz said.
“Learning more about how to create safe learning and working environments for LGBTQ+ students and staff is a crucial part of this effort,” she said.
Coblentz, former LAPS Superintendent Kurt Steinhaus, Interim Superintendent Jennifer Guy and Prevention Support Specialist Brandi Seekins, have been supporting LAPS’ Safe Space Initiative, which provides training for school staff to serve as Safe Space Resource People.
LAPS Mourns Loss Of Student; Provides Grief Support
In times of grief and loss, our school family comes together to support one another.
With that in mind, on Monday, Jan. 11, and Tuesday, Jan. 12, a virtual grief support room will be available to students from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Clinical staff and school counselors will be able to assist students in processing the news of Josh Miko’s death (LAHS student died in a tragic camping accident over the weekend) throughout both days, using breakout rooms for small groups of students to gather and share.
A separate virtual support session will be available for staff 3-4 p.m. on both Monday and Tuesday.
