School district pushes to reopen in-person classes after surge in suicides during virus lockdowns

Print this article One of the largest school districts in the country, Nevada’s Clark County School District, is returning to in-person classes “as quickly as possible” after a surge in student suicides. “When we started to see the uptick in children taking their lives, we knew it wasn’t just the Covid numbers we need to look at anymore,” said Jesus Jara, the Clark County superintendent. “We have to find a way to put our hands on our kids, to see them, to look at them. They’ve got to start seeing some movement, some hope.” Over nine months amid the pandemic, 18 students killed themselves in Clark County, which is double the number for the previous year.
