Family asks L'Anse Creuse board for reporting, training and transparency after 11-year-old's suicide
Summary
A letter read to the board urged immediate changes after the suicide of an 11-year-old student, including anonymous reporting, 24-hour parent notification, mandatory staff training, and named points of contact at schools. Superintendent acknowledged the family's loss and said district staff will follow up.
A family asked L'Anse Creuse Public Schools to adopt a set of anti-bullying and reporting reforms after the death of an 11-year-old student the family said died by suicide.
During public comment, Selena Torres read a letter from the child's mother that described the student, Roman, as “bright, fun, funny, and gentle” and said Roman had faced bullying. The mother asked the board for three specific actions: a clear reporting-and-follow-up system, annual evidence-based bullying-prevention lessons and mandatory staff training, and expanded counselor access plus a named point person at each school with quarterly public reporting on bullying incidents and outcomes.
