MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - "After receiving additional details concerning the events that took place at Sequoyah High School on April 30, 2015, Director of Schools Tim Blankenship has suspended Principal Gary Cole indefinitely, pending an investigation. This suspension is without pay. Any further decision will be made when the investigation is concluded," according to the district's statement.
Meanwhile, Deputy James Fisher was fired for letting the students walk-in with the props at midnight last Thursday. In a video, the deputy is seen returning after hearing the prank had gotten out of control. However, he gave a false report about the incident, cited in the report.
"I walked out of the building, I looked at the camera and said "I was not part of this." It was awful. This isn't our school, this isn't our class, we're not about that," said student Kody Hampton in an interview with the Local 8.
Hampton said that the initial prank only involved glitters and balloons, however things got out of control after several more students came in around 1:00 a.m.
The students dumped trash in the hallways and set up traps to injure the teachers by covering the walls with baby oil and ketchup and placing marbles in front of doors. The also students released some crickets and chickens in the hallways, Hampton said.
