JAY – School Committee members voted Tuesday after two disciplinary hearings to suspend one student and expel another.

The committee suspended a student who was found in possession of cigarettes, a set of electronic scales, a lighter and a knife at Jay High School on Nov. 29, according to the committee’s findings.

“Student X has a lengthy record of acting in a deliberately disobedient and deliberately disorderly manner and has had multiple suspensions in the past,” the findings state.

The student was suspended from the Jay School Department until at least Jan. 31, 2007. The superintendent will tell the School Committee if it’s necessary to extend the suspension beyond then.

The committee also found that a middle school student had made a bomb threat at that school on Nov. 30, according to its findings.

“It is necessary for the peace and usefulness of the school to expel student Y,” the committee’s findings state.

Police were called in to investigate the bomb threat last month.

A girl under the age of 16 was charged by police with causing a false public alarm after a written bomb threat was found at the middle school that morning.

Students were moved to the gym of the high school as police, school officials and firefighters searched the building finding no bomb.

Once the student was identified after a short period of investigation she admitted to making the threat and told authorities at the time there was no bomb on site, Superintendent Robert Wall said in November.

A second bomb threat written on school property on the heels of the first caused students from the high and middle schools to be moved to the middle school while the high school was checked out.

No bomb was found in that case either.

Police have not charged anyone in that case, White said Wednesday, but they do have a couple suspects.
