Update on Gun-Toting Berkeley High Student
Since I mentioned the incident involving this girl previously, I figured I would pass on the information in today's Daily Cal (all direct quotes).
The Girl:
Coplan said the student has good grades and no previous history of disciplinary problems.

The Excuse (which I believe):
District officials said both the student and her father claimed the student had been given the gun “for safekeeping.”

The Punishment:
A three-member expulsion panel of district administrators is expected to make its recommendation to the school board by Friday, but the board has final say over what will happen to the student, Coplan said.

The federal Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 requires school districts to expel students guilty of gun possession on campus for one calendar year.Email This Post!
