As 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck reported, 13- and 15-year-old students who brought weapons to school last week have been told they won't be allowed to return in the fall.
One woman who is not only a teacher at the school, but also a parent, said the school administration will fix this issue.
"It is troubling. It's just something we all have to work together on," she said. "It's a wonderful school district. People really want the best for their children here and I think everyone will work together to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Last week, a 13-year-old brought a gun to the middle school and the very next day a 15-year-old brought a soft air gun and knife to the high school, Schuck reported.
