Story out of Westland, Michigan:
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, one picture almost cost one high school student a mark on her high school record.
Hazel Juco says when she saw discolored water coming from the sink, it upset her.
“I always hope that someone will see it and want to help us. Because our school obviously doesn’t have money.”
A short time later, she got called down to the office at John Glenn high in the Wayne Westland school district.
“They told me I was being suspended for three days oss for taking a picture. Its inappropriate use of electronics in the restroom. And everyone in my school, every girl takes selfies in the bathroom and makes it their profile pictures on like twitter or Facebook and whatever and no one has gotten in trouble.”
Dozens of students protested by tweeting bathroom pictures they took without getting in trouble. I called Wayne Westland superintendent Dr. Michele Harmala. She looked right into it and says she found out high school administrators made mistakes. They didn’t report the water issue to maintenance. So she did.
Dr. Michele Harmala, the superintendent said, “So I reached out to them. They sent a plumber out right away. We do have a piece of the pipe that leaks out to the faucet that was corroding and needed to be replaced.”
[Kim] Russel [Reporter] [Told Juco], “She said she is going to take the oss of[f] your record.”
Juco said, “I’m so happy about that.” Cont. (Video)
