Schools boost effort to prevent suicides
Officials from Anne Arundel County schools, mental health and law enforcement have stepped up suicide-prevention outreach to students amid an increase in youth suicides and after police found four truant middle school students discussing suicide in a wooded area last week. Superintendent Kevin M. Maxwell sent a letter to parents Tuesday pointing out warning signs and tools they can use for assistance.
