Summary:The teenager was charged Friday with furnishing marijuana, which is a felony, said Contra Costa sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee. He has not been identified because he is a minor. The student was suspended beginning today, said Terry Koehne, spokesman for the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. He did not know how long the suspension will last or whether the student will ultimately be expelled. "We're investigating," Koehne said. Koehne's hope is that the incident will not have a negative impact on the program, which is extremely popular among parents of 4- and 5-year-olds. The day care has a waiting list, as it's the only program of its kind in the district, Koehne said.
