Quote from the principal, Steve Okoniewski:
“I mean, Facebook is — anybody can get on it. It isn’t that tough. … These kids have to understand that within social networking, that there is no real privacy out there. And no. 2 is that here they are — every one of these kids had signed a co-curricular code of conduct.”

MENOMONEE FALLS - Two local high schools are cracking down on dirty dancing at school events.
Both Union Grove High School and Menomonee Falls High School are banning "grinding" - a style of dance some say simulates sex. In Union Grove, video cameras will monitor students' dance moves.
Menomonee Falls High School principal Bill Hintz says after the Homecoming Dance chaperones agreed the dancing had gone too far. "It's finally gotten to the point where it's a hot topic. The community wants us to do something," he said.

Tom Farley may be on the ballot in the race for Madison School Board's Seat 4, after all.
Farley's candidacy documents were deemed "insufficient" on Tuesday, the deadline for filing them, with the City Clerk's office questioning whether some of the 100 necessary signatures came from people outside the school district. The papers also had several incorrect dates indicating the papers were circulated in January 2009, not 2010.
Farley said Wednesday that he still intends to run and is getting "correcting affidavits" to show that he has a sufficient number of valid signatures.
He has three days to do that, Dan Mallin, legal counsel for the Madison School District, said.
If his candidacy is declared valid, Farley, director of the nonprofit Chris Farley Foundation, will face James Howard, an economist and scientist with the Forest Products Laboratory. Incumbent Johnny Winston Jr. is not seeking a third term.
