There's a lot of confusion surrounding Dario's situation. We just spoke with the Senior Class President of Athens' High School. She says the principal did not have a copy of the foreign exchange handbook when he made the decision to keep Dario out of school.

Now, the principal says the AFS foreign exchange program is reopening Dario's case and it's now totally up to them to decide if Dario can stay.

More than 50 students used their lunch period to protest Dario's forced departure. Dario came to Athens, WI from Italy to take part in the foreign exchange program. It's unclear why Dario was asked to leave the school and the country but in a written letter to students and faculty Dario implies the issue was chewing tobacco.

He says he was never caught chewing it on school property, but he says his host mother went to the principal to report Dario once used it on a school bus. Last Tuesday students say Dario was asked to leave and now they want answers.

"All the confusion should be gone before the decision is made that he should get sent home," says Crystal Schreiner, a sophomore at Athens.

Dario's host family declined to comment and the exchange program would not allow us to interview Dario without written permission from his parents in Italy. Students say Dario is scheduled to be on a plane Tuesday morning unless the AFS exchange program changes their mind.
