A student suspended this week after posting a now-viral photo of a packed hallway at her school had her punishment lifted Friday, and so did another student.
The Paulding County School District made the announcement Friday afternoon, acknowledging the “significant national interest” in what it called “the issue” at North Paulding High School.
By then, sophomore Hannah Watters, 15, had already revealed on Twitter
that her suspension had been rescinded. She had been suspended after
taking a photograph Tuesday of a hallway that looked as crowded as any
before the coronavirus pandemic, with few students wearing face
coverings to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

The school district does not ordinarily comment on student discipline
incidents, a spokesman said, but in this case and in that of another
unidentified student, the parents agreed to allow the announcement. The
district has never said why the other student was suspended, but
Hannah’s was not the only hallway photo posted online.
