Expelled

Party
11/6/98
Jennifer Coonce, 17, a National
Honor Society member, has been suspended for ten days, and barred from
her high school campus for the remainder of her senior year, for taking
two sips of sangria at a party in the offices of a design firm for whom
Coonce had just begun interning. She will take classes from home
over an independent teleconference system to complete her high school degree,
and will lose both her Honor Society membership and her advanced placement
credit, as the necessary classes are not offered through the teleconference
program.
Ironically, it was Coonce's
mother who alerted the school to the fact that her daughter had sipped
the wine out of concern that the company, Interiors by Terry D, a design
firm, had inappropriately offered the wine to her daughter at a going-away
party for another employee.
