Lincoln School Administrators Discuss Grief

highschoolLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln Public Schools administrators are working with students on grieving properly at school.

The Lincoln East high school principal encouraged band instructors planning an end-of-semester concert not to include a written or audial tribute for a member who died.

Lincoln police have classified the student’s death in November as a suicide but are continuing to investigate.

Principal Sue Cassata says school administrators must treat all student deaths equally. She says administrators worried that the concert could have been changed into a memorial.

Cassata offered to talk to students and parents about the situation but said no one took her up on the offer.
