The Delaware Supreme Court has reversed a Superior Court decision dismissing a lawsuit filed against a state school district and its employees by the grandparents of a student who killed himself after receiving counseling from the school's behavior expert.

The en banc court issued the opinion in Rogers v. Christina School District.
