Expulsion Unlikely For Student w/Gun

Item: Expulsion unlikely in Columbia Falls (Mont.) High gun case /Kristi Albertson, Daily Inter Lake

More Info: Under school policy, DeReu faces an expulsion hearing, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday in the district office’s board meeting room. But district Superintendent Michael Nicosia said it’s unlikely DeReu will get expelled. “I don’t think the girl is going to be expelled. I think she’s going to be in school before Christmas break,” Nicosia said. “There’s been a lot of hullabaloo for nothing.”

Question: Is the superintendent caving to pressure or is he using common sense here?
