In this episode, we talk to reporter Miranda Cyr about the impact that COVID-19 — and, more specifically, the omicron variant — has had on Las Cruces Public Schools. We also talk about what’s being done to address the substitute shortage, the pending demolition of Columbia Elementary, and the upcoming one-year anniversary of the untimely death of Superintendent Karen Trujillo, who was struck and killed by a vehicle while out walking her dogs on Feb. 25, 2021.
