LINCOLN, 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.
