Fiction-writing high school student not expelled, but not back in school

Brendan Jones, the Ontario high school student who was threatened with expulsion after writing a violent-themed story as part of a test, has posted a comment on the original Quillblog post about this story to give us an update:

As of right now, i’m still sitting at home, with no school to go to tomorrow. They told me that it’s not in my, nor the school’s best interest to have me ever return to Heart Lake. They told us that i’m neither suspended or expelled, but merely “excluded” for a time frame that i’m unaware of.
