Shopilfting Halts Graduation
The principal of Greenville-Weston High School says two students won’t get to participate in graduation ceremonies because they got in trouble for alleged shoplifting incidents during a senior trip to Atlanta.
The students are appealing the decision to the school board.
Principal Dura Hale tells the Delta Democrat Times that he will not compromise. He says the students broke rules and should be punished.
The newspaper reports that one of the students was arrested and the other was scolded for separate incidents during the trip in mid-March.
After returning to Greenville, the students were sent to an alternative school for 10 days.
The students are expected to receive word in the next few days about whether the school board will overturn the principal’s decision.
