Wisconsin statute, s. 115.365, requires that, “Each school board and the governing body of each private school annually shall inform their professional staff of the resources available from the department and other sources regarding suicide prevention.” It also requires the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to create a model notice of suicide prevention resources and services available in the state.
Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has created a model notice of suicide prevention resources and services available in the state. DPI encourages districts to use this model notice with all staff members; anyone who has a relationship with a student should be able to recognize suicide warning signs and know how to respond.

As we do annually, we will have a requirement of a mediasite video and a session on this subject at pre-service for all staff. Click here for a DPI site on further resources on the subject.
