WEST DES MOINES, IA (IRN) – A failed attempt to make a funny social video will be costly for some high school students. On Friday, a group of male students at Valley Southwoods tossed a student into the air at school. The goal was for the student to do a flip once he was in the air, which would be recorded and posted to social media. The student ended up hitting the ceiling and causing damage. No one was hurt. District officials have decided not to formally discipline the students. Instead, they are planning on making all 11 students equally cover the cost of the damage to the ceiling.
