LANSING — The Lansing School District Board of Education expelled a student for at least one school year nearly five months after he was found to have possessed a firearm in school.

On May 22, an unloaded gun was found at the Dwight Rich School of the Arts, according to the Lansing School District.

According to WILX TV-10 , a then-seventh grader was given a gun by his friend, which he unloaded, skills he knows from his time hunting.

The boy who unloaded the gun was suspended from the school, and then expelled.

The school board conducted a student discipline hearing in closed session at a parent's request, allowing them to consider an appeal against the permanent expulsion of the student from all public schools in the state of Michigan, according to the Oct. 21 meeting minutes.
