(Aliquippa, PA) On Thursday school officials at Aliquippa announced that 15 students involved in a senior prank late last Thursday into Friday morning will walk in graduation ceremonies at the school tonight.
The matter is being investigated, and no charges have been filed in the incident that left a mess for the school’s maintenance staff to clean up. Parents and students at Wednesday night’s school board meeting, as well as the seniors involved, want them to walk at graduation; saying, “It isn’t fair that they’re being punished.” The statement’s made by the parents, and other student’s, was clearly enough to change the mind of the school board members after a unanimous decision to allow the fifteen seniors to walk during graduation.
