Students at the village school in Kivalina, Alaska, appear to have returned to their old ways, according to The Anchorage Daily News.

The paper obtained a recent memo written by the McQueen school principal which pointed to a resumption of problems which led to the school's shutdown. Fights, tobacco use and threats to teachers were cited in the March 26 memo.

Other memos that were distributed to the village show that the school's closure was threatened well in advance, the paper says. The school reopened after a two-week shutdown with a pledge from students, parents and village leaders that they would support disciplinary rules.
