Suspended??????

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

They have them on camera killing a classmate. Don't you think expulsion might be more in order?

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

They arent in school. The criminal justice system needs to go forth. Whether they are suspended or expelled they arent there.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I understand this.

The school is letting the police handle it.

I think that's the right thing to do.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

They don't have to be charged or convicted to expel them. The school has the right to expel them for behavior issues.

huskerbb · Guru

This is tragic, but as most school "fights" go--there were two sides involved.

Plus, it was over some guy.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

You suspend them while you are gathering all the facts. Weren't there others involved? And, how involved were they and so forth? Hopefully they will be prosecuted and put in jail for a long , long time.

WYSIWYG · Guru

That should have been a permanent expulsion from the entire school system (not just that grade or location).

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Kids getting killed at school is kind of unchartered waters wouldn't you say? Most discipline policies are about minor offenses barring the occasional bomb threat and some mild fighting. The legal system is involved and they will do what needs to be done. The kids aren't in school so not really sure what the issue is at this point?

So? They have it on VIDEO. They know exactly what happened. Fights at school = suspension. Fights ending in a death = expulsion. Not that difficult.

The school system is not a court of law. The school can expel you without a trial.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Here's the thing, schools are damn ed if they do and damned if they dont.

They either over reach or done reach far enough.

Fights at school in the 80s got a few day OSS.

It's a whole different animal now.

Was the death an accident? Manslaughter is more likely.

Not excusing anyone.

I do think the ones involved should not be allowed to return to school until the investigation is complete. Then go from there.

For an accidental death in a fight where the victim was at least a willing participant, if not the aggressor? That's BS.

If you start something and come out in the worse end, thats on you. Maybe that's the case here, and maybe not, but in either case, the death was accidental.

And maybe what happened was caused more, or at least equally, by the victim.

I do not agree. It's like felony murder. If you are committing a felony and someone dies - it is murder, whether you meant for that person to die or not.

Same principle - school rules say no fighting. It's bad enough if you break the rule, but if the fight ends in a death - your consequences are greater.

And all of them fighting does not excuse any of them from fighting.

You know darn well that accidental deaths are not treated like felony murder. This is vastly different than not meaning to shoot someone while you are robbing them. No one placed the sink there or even deliberately smashed her head on it. She fell in the course of the fight.

no one is excusing anything--but to think this will resuit in "long" prison sentences is pure folly.

There were two girls fighting - no, we don't know which one started it. But then, the others chose to all jump the one girl. So, it doesn't really matter.

It wasn't an accident. When you hit someone - you are meaning to hurt them. The result may end up differently than you expected - but it's NOT an accident.

And yes, that's exactly what felony murder is. A death that occurs in the commission of a felony. Even if it's an accident.

Felony Murder

Felony murder is a killing that happens during the course of the commission of a felony. The murder isn’t necessarily planned out or intended, it’s just a consequence of the other offense. Even a death that is an accident will be considered felony murder by most states if it happens while a felony is being committed.

For example, if someone becomes frightened and falls down a flight of stairs during a robbery, that would be felony murder in some states, even though the death was accidental and the robber did not mean to cause the death. If three people are involved in robbing a bank and one of them shoots a guard, without any preplanning with the others, then all three could be guilty of felony murder, since they willingly participated in the robbery and knew that there was a possibility that someone could get hurt during the course of the robbery.

Any defendant charged with murder should understand the degree of their murder charges because it can affect the level of punishment and defensive strategies. Capital or first degree charges can result in the death penalty in some states. Understanding the different degrees can literally be a life or death decision.

I will bet you any amount of money that none of them will serve even 10 years. I doubt it will even be half of that.

Plus, if the victim started it, then who was committing the felony?

There is NO WAY anynof them will be charged with murder. Not a chance. Manslaughter at most, and I'd be a little surprised at that.

At least suspension keeps them out of school for now.

Pretty sure fighting is against school rules. And they killed someone on school property. They need to not go back there as an example to others that such behavior will not be tolerated, even IF it doesn't result in murder charges.

Why would they just be switching schools? Expulsion should expel them from every school in the district. They can get GEDs or their parents can pay for private school.

Yeah, I don't think that's legal. Here, we have alternative school. If you are expelled, you HAVE to go there. It's almost like jail...

It doesn't work that way. They are entitled to a public education. They can't be permanent banned from every school. That's not how it works.

What if they are waiting on a cause of death before doing anything else?

The punishment can always change.

Where I come from public schools are a privilege not a right. Many kids have been expelled for things much less serious than murder. There have been kids expelled for fighting on school property. For the most part, I support that.

Exactly. Waiting until they have all the facts and/or the police and DA act is very prudent. They are out of school. This end result may be jail or juvenile detention, which would make expulsion moot. Otherwise, they can always expel them.

Nope. Students can be expelled. For how long and for what reasons will vary state to state, but violence is one of the reasons across the board. They are entitled to a hearing and the chance to appeal, but if they are deemed a danger to others, they can be removed immediately with a hearing shortly after.

They can go to an alternative school rather than regular public school. But normal public school does not have to put up with this behavior.

And in Nebraska - expulsions like this would be for about two semesters, and another public or private school CAN'T take an expelled student until the term of expulsion is over. They could only go to an alternative school if that is available.

Husker - I just looked up the laws in YOUR state. No regular public or private school can enroll them while they are expelled.

Districts should provide alternative schools for expelled students, but if they don't, there's a work around for that, too, in the expulsion process.

Laws change all the time, Husker. Most school rules have been updated recently due to violence in schools.

apple · Guru

We had a similar situation here years ago. I just don't understand how detached these girls were from what they did.
~
On Nov. 14, 1997, Reena Virk was swarmed and beaten under a bridge in Saanich on Vancouver Island, B.C., by a group of teenagers, mainly girls.

Battered and bloodied, the 14-year-old managed to get up and stagger across the bridge toward a bus stop to make her way home. Two of the original attackers dragged her back and beat Virk again, leaving her in Victoria's Gorge waterway. Police found her body eight days later.

Six girls — ages 14 to 16 — were sentenced in 1998 for their roles in the initial beating. Warren Glowatski, who was 17 at the time, was convicted of second-degree murder a year later.

Kelly Ellard, meanwhile, has stood trial three times in connection with Virk's death. In 2000, she was convicted of second-degree murder but, three years later, the B.C. Court of Appeal ordered a new trial. That ended with a deadlocked jury.

A third trial in 2005 again convicted Ellard of second-degree murder, but the B.C. Court of Appeal ordered a fourth trial in 2008. However, the Supreme of Court of Canada upheld the third conviction in June 2009.

I'm looking at it. It says exactly what I think it says.

79-266.01.

Expelled student; enrollment in public school; when.

If a student has been expelled from a public school in any school district in any state or from a private, denominational, or parochial school in any state and the student has not completed the terms of the expulsion, the student shall not be permitted to enroll in a public school in any school district until the school board of the district in which enrollment is sought approves, by a majority vote, the enrollment of the student. As a condition of enrollment, the school board may require attendance in an alternative school, class, or educational program pursuant to section 79-266 until the terms of the expulsion are completed. A student expelled from a private, denominational, or parochial school or from a school in another state may not be prohibited from enrolling in a public school district in which the student resides or in which the student has been accepted pursuant to the enrollment option program for any period of time beyond the time limits placed on expulsion pursuant to the Student Discipline Act or for any expulsion for an offense for which expulsion is not authorized for a public school student under the act.

It does not prohibit them from enrolling in another school. They just need board approval. At which time, due to Nebraska open enrollment laws, the original district loses state funds and the new one gains them.

You are wrong. Read the current statute 79-266.01. It doesn't say what you seem to think it does. I'm looking at it right now.
I'm looking at it. It says exactly what I think it says.
79-266.01.
Expelled student; enrollment in public school; when.
If a student has been expelled from a public school in any school district in any state or from a private, denominational, or parochial school in any state and the student has not completed the terms of the expulsion, the student shall not be permitted to enroll in a public school in any school district until the school board of the district in which enrollment is sought approves, by a majority vote, the enrollment of the student. As a condition of enrollment, the school board may require attendance in an alternative school, class, or educational program pursuant to section 79-266 until the terms of the expulsion are completed. A student expelled from a private, denominational, or parochial school or from a school in another state may not be prohibited from enrolling in a public school district in which the student resides or in which the student has been accepted pursuant to the enrollment option program for any period of time beyond the time limits placed on expulsion pursuant to the Student Discipline Act or for any expulsion for an offense for which expulsion is not authorized for a public school student under the act.
It does not prohibit them from enrolling in another school. They just need board approval. At which time, due to Nebraska open enrollment laws, the original district loses state funds and the new one gains them.

They JUST need board approval.

A minor formality in nearly all cases.
