students - why walk out?  they've been put on leave. what if it was added to the snow days extra school...? 
   i have a huge problem with them being paid. i would , if legal, seek to end their pay at the time date stamped on the text. they can consider that  their resignation and why don't they just do that anyway and do something right and honorable for a change. and as far as the one finger salute on a video you really don't know who will see it - ding bracco's pay. what a failure this guy was as a leader.  is the job pool that thin? i can't imagine what got him to  the principal's job.
