Two senior students at the Tyrone High School are returning to school today following a 10 day suspension for a weapons violation.
\nThe two students were in posession of a look-alike weapon on school property.
\nThe plastic cap gun was purple and orange in color and the students were playing around.
\nOne student fired the gun at the junior high cheerleaders as they practiced.
\nThe Administration recommended 10 day suspensions that were served September 17-30, excluded from extra-cirricular activities for 15 days and community service to be completed by December 1.
\n\u201cThese kids are very good students, but they made poor judgement,\u201d said Dr. William Miller, Tyrone superintendent. \u201cWe didn\u2019t think that what they did merited being suspended for a month or longer.\u201d
\nBoth students who were suspended are honor students, but Miller said that the offense had to be dealt with.
\n\u201cWe can\u2019t accept this behavior in today\u2019s society,\u201d said Miller. \u201cOne student has already started his community service. The status of the second student is pending.\u201d
\nThe District is in the process of filing disorderly conduct charges against the students.
\nIn other noteworthy events that will come before the School Board when they meet a week from tonight is a request from the Physical Plant and Operations Committee to name the Athletic Park Complex as the Harry K. Sickler Athletic Park, Tyrone Area School District.
\nThis was put forth as a motion at the last Board meeting and withdrawn to return to committee.
\nThe Tyrone School Board of Directors will meet Tuesday, October 8, 2002 in the Tyrone Elementary School. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
