amusedStudents Allegedly Post Fake Snow Day
RENTON, Ohio — Two teenage girls are accused of gaining unauthorized access to their school district's Web site and posting a fake winter school closing, police said.Edgewood City Schools Superintendent Tom York said he was perplexed when he entered the Web site to announce a one-hour delay for cold and found an announcement that school was canceled for snow _ which wasn't in the forecast.
"I didn't make that call, and I'm the guy who does, so I knew something was up," York said.
The two Edgewood High School students were charged Friday and face expulsion. The fake notice, posted Feb. 5, confused many parents and persuaded some students to stay home.
