We are grieving. We mourn the loss of life of a student at Ingraham High School. We are shaken and devastated, angry and frustrated, and heartbroken.

As we wait for the investigation to continue, right now we know only that we need to hold our children and our staff close, to support each other and those most impacted in getting the supports they need to begin to heal.

We will continue to gather and share resources with you, and we ask that you share resources with us, as well as that you communicate your needs for support.
