HUNTINGDON, Pa. (AP) - Pennsylvania prosecutors say a high school secretary at illegally changed grades in a school computer
system to improve her daughter's class standing.

Attorney General Tom Corbett said Thursday that Caroline Maria McNeal used co-workers' passwords without their knowledge to access
the system at Huntingdon Area High School in central Pennsylvania.

The 39-year-old McNeal is accused of improving her daughter's grades and test scores, while reducing scores for two of her
classmates.

McNeal was charged with 29 counts each of unlawful use of a computer and tampering with public records. No telephone number was
listed for her.

School officials said they corrected the alterations before the students graduated in 2008.

Really?! This is ridiculous. Not just the fact that she changed her daughter’s grades, but the fact that she changed two of her classmates and made them worse. Sounds like this woman got caught up in high school drama while working their. It just seems like a really juvenile and classless thing to do. Way to go mom! Way to teach your child what is right and what is wrong.
