Miriam,
If that doesn’t work, you should be able to find it on our website (https://www.laschools.net/school-board/meetings)
I am responding because it seems you meant to send this mail to the school board rather than the online public comment forum. If you wish to make a public comment DURING the meeting, please follow the zoom link on the website. I’ll include it below, just in case. Another option is to use the same email you did for the public comment request, and you can type your comment there as well for the public to review at their leisure. The school board and employees will not respond to public comment but if you have questions needing answers, please email the board members or superintendent directly.
Thank you,
Antonio R Jaurigue

Los Alamos Statement regarding OCR-
During a varsity soccer game in Los Alamos on October 7th 2021, a soccer player on Los Alamos team made monkey noises multiple times during the duration of the game, at the time, my son was the only African American kid on the team, he was also in 8th grade as he played up. He was 13 years old when this happened, a very impressionable age.
On October 12th 2021, Stephanie Daffron sent an email to the Athletic Director, Ann Stewart regarding the monkey noises by a student she designated by a specific jersey number. As a note, other players as well as a coach specifically pointed out this player stating they heard monkey noises coming from him. As another note, to date, the email sent by Stephanie Daffron was never addressed, responded to or followed up on by the LAPS school district. (This is all documented)
On October 16th, I sent an email after speaking to my son then Stephanie about the monkey noises. Stephanie informed me she was never responded to.
Months of me emailing correspondences, me continually following up with Ann Stewart & Jennifer Guy, I finally received an “investigation report” that was just my allegations written on letterhead & signed by Jennifer Guy. A note, I found untrue information on this “report” like that there was an unspecified LA player when Stephanie Daffron, coach, players & myself all designed this player. My response to her “investigation report” via email is as followed
“First of all, no, I do not accept this… all you did was put dates & allegations in writing! There is no NMAA statement that racial behavior was addressed.
The racial issue obviously was not addressed. I will take this higher as this is not ok.
When we spoke last, I said I wanted written confirmation that the racial issue was handled when it was first reported by Stephanie Daffron to Anne, the athletic Director. You stated the racial investigation started on October 12th when Stephanie reported it! You just sent me a bunch of fluff further confirming my suspicion that this was originally ignored, so thank you for that”
On Feb 1st 2022, OCR received my complaint regarding this racial injustice. Then opened an investigation. Public documents further prove that an initial investigation was not conducted or if it was, it was done incorrectly & without documentation. Prior to the conclusion of the OCR investigation, LAPS volunteered to resolve the complaint. During investigations OCR found several concerns regarding LAPS response to the alleged racial discrimination by the student player. (This is all documented in OCR documentation)
From there, there has been continued allegations against the district about racial injustice.
Thank you for your time,
Miriam Jones
