UPDATE: No discipline for Dubuque student suspended after BB gun - KWWL - Eastern Iowa Breaking News, Weather, Closings: The Dubuque Senior High School student suspended Wednesday for having an exposed BB gun lying in a car parked off, but near, school campus will not face disciplinary action, the district says.
On Friday, Dubuque Community School District Director of School and Community Relations Mike Cyze said following the district's investigation into the incident, officials will not discipline the student. Cyze said the one-day suspension that happened on Wednesday was never a disciplinary action; that's just standard procedure during an investigation. Nothing - not even the suspension - will go on the student's permanent record.
On Wednesday, the parent noticed what appeared to be a gun in a students car parked off campus. The parent called police who responded and confiscated what turned out to be a BB gun. The student was then suspended for the day while the district investigated.
Since reporting the story many have questioned why the extreme measures if the BB gun was parked in a car off school property. In an interview with KWWL, Lt. Scott Baxter with the Dubuque Police Department said he stands by the departments decisions.
