>TUCSON - A Marana High School student has been arrested and charged
>with breaking into a computerized grade database to alter his and
>other students' grades, authorities said.
>
>Michael T. Campbell, 16, remains in the Pima County jail in lieu of
>$25,000 bond.
>
>Authorities said Campbell has a criminal record and has been arrested
>five times since January 2004 on charges including domestic violence
>and credit-card theft.
>
>At Marana High, Campbell was enrolled in a computer-based class where
>students learn curriculum and answer questions at individual computer
>stations. The program keeps track of each student's course grade.
>
>Police said that on Oct. 18, Campbell somehow acquired his teacher's
>user name to the system and got access to his grade.
>
>He then allegedly received money from three students in the class
>between Oct. 18 and Oct. 21 to change their grades, according to
>police.
>
>Campbell later gave the access information to another student, who
>turned him in to school authorities.
