Upon learning a teacher used inappropriate language towards an LGBTQ student, the school counselor's next step should be to:

  1. Set up a parent-teacher conference

  2. Inform the teacher of the student's LGBTQ status

  3. Consult with the building-level supervisor

  4. Change the student's class

The correct answer is: Consult with the building-level supervisor

The school counselor's next step should be to consult with the building-level supervisor. This option is the most appropriate as it ensures proper handling of the situation by involving a higher authority who is trained and knowledgeable in dealing with cases of discrimination and harassment. Option A is not appropriate as it does not address the issue of discrimination and may put the student at risk. Option B could further violate the student's privacy and confidentiality. Option D is not a solution to the problem and may cause further harm to the student.
