The first student has been expelled with what I gather is only the testimony of another student. The District will still have to pay for the expelled student&#8217;s education so its likely to cost the District more for penalizing this student than if he remained in school. This is being done for his\/her committing an offense in which guilt hasn&#8217;t been established as a matter of fact.<\/p>\n<p>What I find most disturbing goes without comment in the story. Over the past five years, during Dr. Dixon&#8217;s reign, there have been 32 bomb threats.<\/p>\n<p>I was on the Board for eight years. I recall a bomb threat or two over those eight years but this is an amazing and extraordinary number of threats. I suspect it is indicative of a breakdown in our schools trust and morale which always has a negative impact on students. <\/p>\n<p>Trust is earned. This Board and this Superintendent are in short supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trib has a little story about a second student who has been disciplined for making a bomb threat in his\/her school.
