A North Carolina principal is under fire after handing over keys to the school to let students pull off a 'senior prank' that created mass chaos and left teachers 'in tears.'
Burns High Principal Jennifer Aberly thought a few students were going to put up streamers and balloons on Thursday last week - but arrived the next morning to find significant damage in the hallways and classrooms.
Students greased floors and door handles, put potted plants in toilets, stacked desks, and scattered teachers' personal belongings while inside unsupervised.
'When I first saw that, I was very upset,' school board member Danny Blanton told the Charlotte Observer. 'That should not have happened, especially a principal giving kids authorization and then not being there supervising that.'
The incident is the latest in a series of so-called 'senior pranks' across the country where major destruction is carried out with little regard for school property.
Parents, teachers, and board members at the Lawndale, North Carolina school are now expressing their outrage over Aberly's actions.
Photos of the destruction inside the school shows the extent of the damage done by the group of teenagers.
Students used 'globs of vaseline' to cover door handles and slathered baby oil on hallway floors to make the surfaces slippery when walking, Blanton said.
One photo shows a potted plant placed directly inside a toilet bowl in one of the school's bathrooms.
The board member also said a microwave was dropped into the water.
Another picture is of chairs and desks that were pulled out of classrooms and stacked on top of each other in the corridors.
In arguably the most concerning image shared by the board member, ceiling tiles appear to have been pulled down while items are littered around one room.

Keith Moon would have called these guys “amateurs”.
How about just rolling the lawn
Prank took place at Ocean City high School, NJ. Forgot how to link but Google Do you want your gnomes back? and it will show up. Really very funny.

A really bad reason for allowing immature teens to vote (and this is from a guy who spent his 18th year as an infantryman in Viet Nam).
“Easy solution: Prosecute the students ...”
There is no investigation because the school hasn’t even FILED A POLICE REPORT.
The yutes will skate.
Nevertheless... you asked, I answered.
