Dr Sahler's positive reaction to our article is appreciated.

We agree that suicide is often a district-wide event. A school system should be vigilant for at-risk children of all grade levels and be prepared to assist them. In large school districts, however, it may not be prudent to notify parents of grade schoolers unlikely to have contact with the victim. There seems to be a trade-off between attempting to trace every possible at-risk contact of the victim and casting too wide a net.
