Altonna (WQOW) - Two area students face possible expulsion for a joke about a plot to kill the superintendent of Altoona schools.
The two Altoona male freshmen are accused of creating a document on a computer drive accessible to students. School officials said it included a statement about a plan to "assassinate" the superintendent. It also told readers to go to Altoona Beach at a specific date and time to retrieve an envelope with plans to "complete your mission."
School officials said they determined it was a joke, but the school board will meet Monday to decide whether to expel the boys.
