Janesville schools expel fourth student
JANESVILLE — The Janesville School Board on Tuesday expelled a high school student who was accused of possession of a prescription drug, a Vicodin pill, with intent to deliver, on school grounds.
The student is expelled through the end of summer school 2010 but may apply for early readmission, starting with second semester in January 2010.
To apply for early readmission, the student must be assessed for drugs and alcohol and comply with any treatment recommendation, complete a drug/alcohol education course and attend the Truancy Abatement and Transitional Education program if an opening exists.
Upon returning early, the student must comply with a number of restrictions and unannounced drug screens.
This brings to four the number of students expelled this school year, compared with 15 at this time last year.

Is there any research that shows that a lower expulsion rate leads to a more learned student body? Why is not expelling students a goal? Why are we invested in NOT expelling disruptive and criminal kids? We should expel more students and be less tolerant of criminality in our schools. I worry that in order to keep the numbers low that some kids are using our schools as a prep for prison. There should be a very low tolerance for kids who are simply not in school to learn. If JSD is expelling so many fewer kids from one year to the next it's misguided to congratulate the schools for doing something so wonderful all of the sudden that is making these kids behave better. More than likely the kids are behaving the same as always and the JSD has changed it's behavior by lowering it's standards for schools.
