St. Charles school officials expelled two high school students who they say shut down the district's computer network. Officials say the students overloaded the district's servers using their cell phones.
For almost a month, teachers were blocked from online grading and homework programs. The students were caught after they were overheard by staff members bragging to their classmates.
Both students enrolled in an online school and will be able to re-enroll in the district for the next school year. No legal charges have been made.
