I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly endorse Lauren Coupland for the Los Alamos School Board. Lauren Coupland is an exceptional individual who has dedicated her life to education, not only as a profession but as a personal mission.

What sets Lauren apart is her unwavering commitment to access and inclusion in education. In an era where creating an equitable learning environment is paramount, Lauren Coupland stands out as a candidate who prioritizes inclusivity and accessibility for all students in Los Alamos.

Lauren Coupland’s personal educational journey with her own disabilities has given her a unique perspective on the challenges students face. She understands the importance of providing equal opportunities to all students, regardless of their individual abilities or challenges.
