iLEAD’s Governing Board recognizes that suicide is a major cause of death among youth and should be taken seriously. In order to reduce suicidal behavior and its impact on learners and families, the director(s) or designee shall develop preventive strategies, intervention and postvention procedures. The purpose of this policy is to protect the health and well-being of all district students by having procedures in place to prevent, assess the risk of, intervene in, and respond to suicide.
In developing measures and strategies for use by the school, the school director or designee may consult with school health professionals, school counselors, school psychologists, school social workers, administrators, other staff, parents/guardians, students, local health agencies, mental health professionals, and community organizations. For more information, please email info@iLEADexploration.org.
In order to initiate access to available pupil mental health services, you may contact the school counselor Kathy Tempco at kathy.tempco@ileadexploration.
