This group of Western Albemarle High School students say they skipped school to arrive at 7:30am in order to gain first-in-line status for a President Barack Obama's speech slated for 12 and a half hours later on Friday, October 29. The truants say their Advanced Placement government teacher pre-approved the effort.
