04/02/08 - Connecticut law: A principal is obligated to bring forward for expulsion any student they believe either sold or distributed drugs.

Caught On Cameras

Quote:

"Overall this school year has been quieter in that regard and I think both the school resource officer and the cameras that were installed have helped," Headmaster Alan Capasso said. "The director of security who has now been in that position for a while has revamped the security staff and has redone their schedule."

Cops, cameras team up for GHS drug bust

Two students arrested on drug charges by police on Friday at Greenwich High School were identified as a result of increased vigilance by school security, Headmaster Alan Capasso said yesterday....

...A couple of hours later, police were back at Greenwich High School to make a second arrest, this time of a 16-year-old student, who lives in Cos Cob. In this case, school personnel received information that the student had magnesium shavings, considered a fire hazard.

Question For Alan Headmaster Alan Capasso:

Were Any Greenwich High School Students Involved In John Bria Drug Death Expelled?

Could John J. Bria have been saved?

John J. Bria grew up in the Byram section of Greenwich.

Byram is not a high-income area -- unlike other parts of Greenwich that house the wealthy movers and shakers in business, entertainment and politics.

Some of Bria's friends were from Byram and others were from that larger and extravagant sections of Greenwich where parents run big chunks of the country, from Wall Street to Hollywood.

Many in the close knit community of Byram think that the police were intimidated in the Bria case, because of the fact that Miss Megan Caron's father, Glenn Caron, creator of the TV series Moonlighting, is a Hollywood big shot?
