PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP (AP) Authorities said a group of parents rented a bus to take their kids to Saline High School's junior-senior prom, then got on board and drank beer in the parking lot.
Officials at the school in Washtenaw County's Pittsfield Township said about 15 parents were joined by other adults Saturday. Deputy Director Elizabeth McGuire of the township police said the parents could face misdemeanor charges of consuming alcohol on school grounds.
Superintendent Scot Graden told The Ann Arbor News the parents were discovered after a student was caught at the prom with alcohol. He said the student was on the bus at some point during the evening, but won't say if that's where the student got his alcohol.
Graden says there's no evidence that any of the students who took the bus knew the parents were going to drink.
