Officials with the Council Bluffs Community School District, Thursday, announced that the student who threw the punch in a fatal fight at Abraham Lincoln High School won’t be expelled. The Daily NonPareil reports instead, 16-year old Gregary Teer has been reassigned to an “academic reassignment center” housed at Kanesville Alternative Learning Center. According to the district’s website, Kanesville is intended for students struggling to fit in to larger classes at the high schools, who have attendance issues, who are not earning credits or who are behind on credits, as well as students taking more than four years to complete their diploma.

Diane Ostrowski, the district’s chief communications officer, told the paper Teer will not be able to return to his classes at Abraham Lincoln, which he said publicly he wants to do. Ostrowski said Teer is a junior, and there has been no discussion about what high school or academic center he will attend for his senior year.
