A Florida teen was arrested for hacking into the Miami-Dade Public Schools database and then allegedly changed the grades of four students. The report does not indicate that Bautista himself was one of the four that received a new grade.
Jose Bautista appeared in front of Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Thomas J. Rebull to answer the charges. "You've been arrested on four counts of offenses against intellectual property, public records exemption and four counts of offenses against computer users," Rebull told Bautista at the bond hearing.

According to 7NEWS, Miami-Dade Schools Police arrested Bautista on Thursday. They said the teen took money, hacked into the school's computer system and changed students' grades. Police said each of the counts Bautista is charged with represents one of the students for whom he altered grades.
"It's not fair to the people that really try," said Mayan Dehry, a student at Bautista's school. "Like, I know a lot of kids are in AP classes, and they try really hard to get the grades that they get. I don't know, if you're just going to be lazy and then change your grades, that's not what learning is about."
Bautista's bond has been set at $5,000 and when released from jail, the teen will be required to wear a GPS monitoring device as part of his house arrest.
