Cookie Threat Sends Boy to a New School
A sixth-grader who was suspended after allegedly threatening to expose a highly allergic teacher to peanut butter cookies will be allowed to return to class next month at a different school, a superintendent said Friday.
Jules Gabriel had been kept out of class since April 2, after a girl in his social studies class at South Orange Middle School reported the threat.
Supt. Peter Horoschak said school officials met with the boy’s parents and agreed to readmit him May 3.
The boy’s father, Loubert Gabriel, said Jules was carrying a snack packet of Nutter Butter cookies and made a comment about having “something dangerous” but never said he had a weapon.
