SACRAMENTO, Calif.�A Northern California teenager is being allowed to return to his former high school after he was expelled for having shotguns in his pickup truck.
The Glenn County Board of Education on Friday reinstated 17-year-old Gary Tudesko, a junior at Willows High School, and ordered the expulsion removed from his record.
The board said school officials exceeded their authority when they expelled Tudesko since the guns were not on school grounds or brought to a school-sponsored event. Tudesko's truck was parked on a public street near the school when the weapons were discovered on Oct. 26.
The teen says he went hunting that morning and did not have time to bring the guns back home.
Willows High School Principal Mort Geivett says the board's decision is disappointing and not in the best interest of the county's kids.
