I hope you're kidding (I really can't tell if you are). The cost of a dozen sticky notes isn't going to break the bank. Aside from that, for all you know, the students bought the sticky notes themselves.
Did you look at those pictures? A dozen sticky notes?
I agree he over reacted...but the students did trespass, did commit a violation, defacing school property. And now...they are "heroes" of tyranny. Not. How would this go over in a work environment? Well....it depends...but where I work...not well.
Things that start out as "pranks" could have gone badly....there should be a lesson learned here...aside from "superintendent is the bad guy". He enforced the rules....which those kids broke.
But no one got hurt. Those 50+ suspensions were done after the fact and all over sticky notes.
The students didn't break into the school, they were let in.
It WAS a harmless prank, a tradition at that school. Why not let youth have their fun before they head out to the real world ?
The fact that no one got hurt, doesnt minimize the question who would have been held responsible if someone did? Also, just because a janitor, and a school board member authorized the kids to trespass, this doesnt mean they have the authority. Thats like saying I can let you into my neighbors house to take everything they own, and if you do it, its not theft. Clearly it is.

Well, not really. You don't live in your neighbors house so you don't have any power over the people there.
It was authorized by people who worked with the school.
What an attractive prank, doors two, three and five are really cute. Let's see, when I was in high school someone painted the bleachers, painted the mascot hot pink, but a toilet on the roof, put a volkswagon on the roof (the frame not one with an engine and all), hung old ladies panties on the flag pole & so on. Guess they would all still be in the pen.

Janitors don't normally have authorization rights and sure as hell have no right to open a locked door to students when obviously they have something like that in mind. Members of school boards just do not have any more right to do that than the janitor so authorized is not the proper word.
The guy admditted he was wrong and overreacted. Nobody got suspended or fired and he looks silly now. This was not a big deal and there is nothing left to fight about.
