6-year-olds wander from school to museum

PITTSBURGH (AP) - May 23, 2012

District spokeswoman Ebony Pugh says she can't specify what sort of discipline officials at Martin Luther King Elementary School will face for the incident Monday, because that's a personnel matter.

A museum spokesman tells a local television station that the students showed up at the museum about 2 p.m. Monday and asked if admission was free. When they were told no, the students ran into the museum until they were caught by security guards.

The school was locked down after a teacher noticed the students were missing.

Pugh says the school is developing a plan to prevent future incidents.
