Montgomery County schools to toughen penalties for student misbehavior
Montgomery County Public Schools is toughening its penalties for bomb threats, attacks on staff and other misbehavior by students, district officials said.
Bomb threats, for example, could soon lead to suspension or expulsion. Previously, the district's student code of conduct said such threats could trigger the lowest level of response or penalty, such as a detention or other teacher-led intervention.
