Suicide Awareness
Any district employee who has an indication that a student may be contemplating suicide, shall refer the student for suicide risk screening and/or assessment and intervention. Below you will find the contact information for our District Suicide Awareness representatives. Also, immediate concerns should be reported to the student's Principal or School Counselor.
Lastly, concerns for student well-being can be submitted anonymously to the Office of the Attorney General by using the Safe2Say program which is linked here: https://www.p3campus.com/tipform.aspx?ID=3085&C=e780ab
