I find your situation very interesting. As I read through all of the reponses, I must admit that I too was already thinking of things that you should look into or check until I read Brak710's brilliant post. His answer was so simple yet so effective. Sometimes in an attempt to be an analytical thinker, we tend to overthink things through. The reason I found your situation so interesting is that my wife is a vice principle (which means the she does all of the dicipline) of a k8 school. Now, just because she's not in IT doesn't mean she's not an analytical person. She received her Masters in Educational Psychology and her Doctorate in Educational Inovation and Leadership, so she's used to doing research and analyzing results. I really wanted to hear her take on your situation and what would actually happen if it happened to her. So I read XaVi3r's original post without all of the replies, and I asked her what she would do. I expected her to say something like get the IT guy on it and suspend the kid. To my amazement, she told me exactly what Brak710 posted. She said that she would thank the student for bringing this issue to her attention, and ask the student what he/she did to access the files. It's nice to know that there are at least some administrators that would respond with gratitude. I'm not so sure that was the case at my school.
