A teenager is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday morning after he admitting he brought a loaded handgun to a Jackson County school earlier this year.

He's accused of having a loaded handgun on him while he threatened a teacher at Western Career Prep High School in Blackman Township on January 26, 2018.
