Four teenagers from suburban Oak Lawn have been suspended from school
for allegedly hacking into a computer system to change their grades.

A teacher at Oak Lawn High School discovered the scheme two weeks ago.  
She noticed the grades for one student did not match up with the
grades in the school computer system.  Officials later discovered that
three juniors and one senior allegedly broke into the district's
system and changed their grades. They have been suspended for 10 days.

When the students return to school, they will be stripped of their
computer privileges.
