The institution declared that it was “deeply shaken” and that its “priority is to offer all the necessary support and assistance to the student’s family and colleagues and friends impacted by this tragedy.”[16] However, the school's response was widely criticized by Bruno de Paula, Pedro's uncle.

He alleged that the school demonstrated negligence by limiting its communication to the delivery of a wreath and a note of condolence, without offering direct support to the family.

The school mentioned the existence of initiatives such as the “Help Teams” and the “Rational and Emotional Support Committee,” but did not detail specific measures adopted in response to Pedro's case.
