North Carolina school officials admit they chose wrong valedictorian after mom stands up for son

On Monday, Bonds spoke out at a meeting of local education officials to address the issue of her son, Matt Grubb, not receiving the valedictorian honor at his graduation.
A mistake caused the spring semester grades to be omitted from GPA calculations, resulting in Grubb losing the valedictorian title.
Superintendent Brad Rice and the board chairman reached out to Grubb's family, arranged for new medals to be made, and scheduled a July ceremony at West Stokes to honor him.
Rice expressed deep regret and emphasized their commitment to properly acknowledging Matthew Grubb’s dedication and efforts.
The school system changed its practice to include all eight semesters, but Bonds and Grubb said efforts to fix the mistake help only so much.
