Well it does look like the fault lies with the programming, either the
software or the user input.

Hi Al,
It looked to me that they sort-of wanted to look blameless themselves.
The people blaming the computer are responsible for what it does, though.
"They" should know you have to go through a mailing list before sending
anything out after a student dies?

Except - the article mentions an attendance percentage - which leads me
to think that the letter was generated automatically - and goes out to
EVERY Kid who is below that percentage.
Of course, if the student had been properly removed from the school
systems database, or properly flagged as deleted - then the computer
would not have seen them to begin with and not sent a letter...

What does removed mean?
The Attendance package failed to qualify as still active in school,
medial emergency, divorce custody, child death could all throw the
flag to NotSend.
Did the school update the system or did the program fail to ask if
anything was odd?
