Nineteen students at a Burien (Washington) high school are serving suspensions for their roles in a scheme that involved hacking into their school district's computers and changing grades.
"It certainly was devastating," said Pat Dunn, first-year principal at Highline High School. "Within the building, we've trusted our kids would always do the right things."
In all, 26 students were involved in various levels of the grade-changing. Seven, however, were unaware their grades had been altered.
