School board expels four for airsoft guns

The Janesville School Board expelled four students Tuesday. The students and the charges against them were:

-- A high school student, possessing dangerous weapons on school grounds. The student possessed two Airsoft handguns, which shoot plastic BBs, said Karen Schulte, director of student services. Schulte said the student pointed a gun at someone. She said the gun looks very similar to a firearm and would likely prompt a police officer to draw his own weapon.

This student was expelled for the rest of this school year but may attend summer school.

-- A high school student, fighting on school grounds. The student is expelled through the end of the 2006-07 school year.

He or she may apply for early reinstatement starting in the second semester of 2006-07 after undergoing an anger assessment and treatment.

-- A high school student, fighting on school grounds. The student is expelled through the end of the first semester of the 2007-08 school year.

He or she may apply for early reinstatement starting in the second semester of 2006-07 after satisfying conditions that include an anger assessment and treatment.

-- A middle school student, possessing a marijuana pipe on school grounds and repeated refusal or neglect to follow school rules. The student is expelled through the end of the 2006-07 school year.

He or she may apply to return earlier, starting in the first semester of 2006-07, after completing anger and drug assessments and treatment.

This brings to 34 the number of expulsions this school year, compared with 20 at this time last year.
