- Controversy
-
The school was in the news in 1998 when it expelled a student caught smoking marijuana off school grounds. The case raised issues concerning the extent that schools can police students' lives. The expulsion was appealed to Connecticut State Supreme Court, which ruled that students could be expelled if their off site behavior ``markedly interrupts or severely impedes the day-to-day operation of the school". The student was reinstated and filed a lawsuit against Thomaston after graduation.
