Nevis School Phone System Gets and "F"

(AP)  The phones were ringing off the hook at the Nevis School District Tuesday. 

It seems tardy calls went out to the parents of 520 students, or the entire student body.  Calls were supposed to go out to only two families.  The automated system went berserk. 

Worried parents jammed the phone lines.  When the mistake was discovered, a second call went out, but that didn't stop hundreds of calls and visits by concerned moms and dads.

By Wednesday, the system had been fixed, with an apology or 520.
