JAY – School Committee members expelled a high school student Thursday night who is accused of bringing marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms to school in his vehicle Oct. 13.

The expulsion is open-ended, Superintendent Robert Wall said, until a petition for readmittance is presented to go before the Jay School Committee.

Jay police discovered about 4 ounces of marijuana and 2 ounces of psychedelic mushrooms in the 17-year-old student’s car during an investigation, police Chief Larry White Sr. said. The drugs were worth an estimated $1,000, he said.

The vehicle was impounded and the student was arrested on felony drug trafficking charges.
