KEYSER — Eight students implicated in bomb threats that disrupted classes at a Keyser school for four days have been expelled.
The Mineral County Board of Education expelled the students for a year Tuesday evening.
Superintendent Skip Hackworth says two other students remain under investigation.
Those expelled were a sixth-grade boy, two eighth-grade boys, three seventh-grade boys and two seventh-grade girls. They weren’t identified because they’re juveniles.
A series of bomb threats at Keyser Primary-Middle School disrupted classes and prompted police searches earlier this month.
A bomb threat at Keyser High School canceled a basketball game.
Backpacks were banned at both schools because of the threats.
