10 juniors made fun of staff, students on YouTube site
By George W. Davis
Special to the Beacon Journal
Published on Wednesday, Jan 16, 2008
Ten Green High School juniors have been suspended for 10 school days for producing videos that made fun of staff and students.
The teenage boys placed the videos on the popular YouTube Internet site.
The suspensions, given out last week by principal Gary Geis, began on Friday.
The suspensions, school officials said, will mean the teens will be out of school six days ending this Friday. They will return to school on Tuesday and serve four days of in-school suspension.
They will be permitted to take
their semester final exams that got under way this week.
Superintendent Wade E. Lucas, who was holding suspension appeal hearings for several of the students and their parents Tuesday afternoon, said school policy says that if a student is suspended and misses a test, he or she will receive a zero grade. But he said that stipulation has been waived in this instance.
Lucas declined to release many details about the students or what was posted on the Internet, but he said school equipment was not used to make the videos.
He said four videos were made and then posted on YouTube.
The videos were discovered on the Internet last Thursday after word spread about the postings.
The videos were subsequently removed.
''They (the students) made a bad decision,'' Lucas said.
The students are also prohibited from participating in any extracurricular activities, including sports.
