TEEN WILL RETURN TO SCHOOL PENDING DRUG TEST HEARING

SANDUSKY -- A judge has allowed a Margaretta High School student to return
to classes pending a hearing tomorrow on the school district's demand that
he submit to a drug test.

A hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. in Erie County Common Pleas Court on
a request by John Hensley, Jr., for an injunction against the Margaretta
schools. The 16-year-old sophomore was suspended Sept. 26 after school
officials searched his locker and found a T-shirt that they thought smelled
of marijuana.

School officials had informed the student he could not return until he was
tested for drugs, but visiting Judge Joseph Cirigliano told the district
Thursday to let him back into classes.
