EVANSVILLE, Ind. - A computer malfunction wiped out a month's worth of grades at three high schools and one middle school, giving struggling students a second chance but dismaying others.
The Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corp. announced on its Web site that the malfunction occurred during spring break.
Students at Harrison High had mixed reactions, depending on how the second semester was going for them, senior Ibrahim Dughaish said Monday.
"Some are really upset because they worked hard for five weeks," but others saw it as a reprieve, he said.
"My son is an honor roll student, and I prefer he keep his grades. He works hard for them," said parent Teresa Hayes.
Upcoming report cards at the four schools will not be issued as scheduled. Instead, the final two weeks of the current six-week period will be combined with the final six weeks of the year into an eight-week reporting period.
Harwood Middle School Principal Mike Raisor said some of his teachers had printed out grades before spring break, but most had not.
"I think the reality set in with everyone that you couldn't do anything about it. They took it pretty well in stride," Raisor said.
The school district's announcement said IBM engineers determined the loss of data was caused by "an unfortunate and very rare combination of hardware problems and backup configuration settings."
