CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) — Cincinnati Public Schools officials are arguing that the district is not liable for the death of an 8-year-old boy who killed himself after he was knocked unconscious by another student.

The school district is fighting for the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a federal trial judge's refusal to dismiss the parents' wrongful death lawsuit.
