FARMINGTON – A Mt. Blue High School student was expelled this week for bringing and smoking marijuana at school and then giving it to another student to smoke in the bathroom, administrators said.
In a student disciplinary hearing held in executive session to protect the identity of the students involved, the Mt. Blue Regional School District 9 board of directors voted 11 to 2, with Farmington directors Iris Silverstein and Yvette Robinson opposed, to expel the student.
Neither the student nor his parents attended the hearing despite several attempts to contact them.
According to the report, the administration at the high school was informed that a student was smoking marijuana in the boys’ bathroom. After viewing a videotape of the area showing the student passing “some material to a female student who then went into the girls’ room,” those involved were questioned by administrators.
The report said both students admitted that the male student smoked a marijuana joint in the boys’ room and then had passed a marijuana joint to the female student who then smoked it in the girls’ bathroom.
SO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ??? JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF NEWS.
Thats all it is. NO counseling, NO guidance to the parents as to what to do and where to go to help their kids out. Mt Blue High School has outsiders, strolling into the school, selling drugs, and strolling out, when brought to their attention the response is ” we have so many doors in this school, it is hard to keep an eye on them all.” That place gives a new meaning to HIGH school.
