The case against the Florida student who was expelled and faced criminal charges over a science experiment has been dismissed, the Associated Press reports. Sixteen year-old Kiera Wilmot's experiment mixed toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil in a plastic water bottle, which led to a small amount of smoke and a popping noise. While Wilmot's science teachers said they did not know of the experiment, the principal at her school said she was a "good kid" who made a bad choice.
The AP adds that Wilmot must undergo a diversion program. In addition, her expulsion, which had been put on hold as the criminal case proceeded — she has been attending an alternative school — will now go before the school board.
