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

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.

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?
