Abstract
When students die by suicide, parents may believe that the school played some role in events leading to the student’s death. Julie Underwood reviews four cases in which schools or school staff faced lawsuits for failing to prevent a student suicide. In general, schools may be deemed legally responsible to student suicides if they created the danger, failed to act reasonably to warn parents, or acted recklessly in carrying out responsibilities to the student.
