LCPS parents,
The district is closely monitoring a social media rumor related to school violence. We want to reassure you that threats made towards our students are taken seriously, and that recent national events are likely contributing to these social media posts.
LCPS is currently working with school resource officers on campus and with local law enforcement, who have determined these threats to be unsubstantiated.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our schools safe.

Padres de LCPS,
El distrito está monitoreando de cerca un rumor en los medios sociales relacionado con la violencia escolar. Queremos asegurarles que las amenazas dirigidas a nuestros estudiantes se toman en serio, y que los recientes acontecimientos nacionales probablemente contribuyen a dichas publicaciones en los medios sociales.
LCPS está trabajando actualmente con agentes de seguridad escolar y con la policía local, quienes han determinado que estas amenazas no tienen fundamento.
Gracias por trabajar en permanente colaboración para mantener nuestras escuelas seguras.

In the summer, the Las Cruces Public Schools Safe Routes to school program suffered a setback. On June 17, a storage area at Lynn middle school was broken into and nine bicycles were stolen.
Working quickly with Las Cruces police, our safe routes coordinator, Ashleigh Curry, gathered her team and started searching through social media for any tips or leads on recovering the bikes. After recognizing one of the bikes for sale on Facebook, Ashleigh notified the police, and through a series of quick investigative work, a theft ring was discovered, an arrest was made, and five of the bicycles were recovered, along with two stolen vehicles that were part of a separate investigation.
For their diligent work, Las Cruces Public Schools would like to thank Officer Austin Kane of LCPD and Lieutenant Joy Wiitala. The LCPD unit that investigated and recovered the bikes was the Community Street Crimes Unit, along with the following personnel:
Sgt. Lazarin
Sgt. Campa
Officer Smith
Officer Rodriguez
Officer. Palos
Officer Velasco
Officer Kelley
Officer Kane
Officer Mora
Officer Roybal
Officer Berling
