Click2Houston - Discipline Decided In Student Inhaler Incident - Brandon Kivi was expelled from Caney Creek High School for sharing his inhaler last week with his girlfriend. He does not intend to go back after Christmas when his expulsion expires. [muth] Kivi said the ordeal taught him the lesson of a lifetime. "If I had this to do again, I would do the right thing and ask the nurse before I do it, to keep out of trouble," Kivi said. Ferguson was not disciplined over the incident. Both Kivi and Ferguson decided to withdraw from Caney Creek High School to be home-schooled. The families received calls of support from around the world after their story was made public.
