A 17-year-old Berkeley High student who was involved in an incident in which a gun was fired in a men’s bathroom on campus on March 22 was spotted on school grounds Monday, despite him having been expelled. BUSD spokesperson Mark Coplan said the student was seen at around midday by Berkeley High security staff who called the police to have him removed. By the time Berkeley police officers arrived on the scene, the student had disappeared.

The BUSD Board will be considering proposals to tackle guns on campus at its Wednesday night meeting at 7:30pm in the school board chambers at 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way.

    There’s nothing more annoying than action-blockers and champions of the status quo.

    If they were suggesting alternate plans of action it might not be so annoying, but they seem to be content with offering their pretend-lawyer opinions about why what everyone else thinks is wrong.

    It’s easy for folks like that to dissemble when they never offer any ideas of their own.

    I should have been clearer, the school is required to report trespassing in the annual report to the state. They are not required to report trespassing to BPD, only school infractions that reach a law enforcement referral.

    Trespass data is included in annual incident reports for mandated state reporting. The numbers never appeared reliable when the safety committee was presented with the data.

    Sorry for the confusion, I was not paying that close of attention since I am busy with more pressing responsibilities.

    The kid should have a court ordered stay away or the principal should obtain a restraining order, end of problem. Kids expelled love to return to campus and prove their ability to dominate the system.

    That is not what I suggested, Thomas, your mission is to conflate issues and obscure facts.

    I will refrain from acknowledging you on this blog.

    This particular article was pure B.S., because all of the kids that were involved in the bathroom gun incident were in Juvenile Hall. So don’t believe these stories, the reporters don’t do their research they just report hearsay.
