A teenager expelled from his Glenn County high school for having shotguns in his vehicle, which was parked off campus, will challenge his expulsion this week.

Gary Tudesko, 16, was expelled from Willows High School in November after a dog detected the guns in his pickup truck on Oct. 26, according to a news release by the National Rifle Association.

Tudesko told school officials he'd gone on an early morning duck-hunting trip before school that morning and believed the guns would not be a problem if he parked off campus.

Willows is a town of 6,000 surrounded by ranching areas and wetlands in the Sacramento Valley.

School officials claimed they had the legal authority to expel Tudesko. The teen and his family, with legal support from the NRA, are challenging the decision.

A hearing is scheduled before the Glenn County Board of Education in Willows at 10 a.m. Friday.

the principal should have called the father to come get his kid’s guns and give him a stern lecture, instead of going drama queen.

Or told the kid to go and make sure they were stowed out of sight, and be more careful next time. End of problem.
