NJ high school agrees to chair for teen student lost to suicide
A North Jersey high school will be leaving a seat empty at its commencement ceremony to honor a class member who committed suicide before his 17th birthday last year.
The family of Jordan Falco had asked administrators at Northern Valley Demarest High School to save a seat at graduation for the late student, who died during his junior year in April 2020 after a struggle with depression, his mother told NBC New York.
The school first offered to observe a moment of silence for both Falco and a teacher who also died during the past year, according to the same report.
