The city and the Round Rock school district agreed to drop charges against the 70 students, pay $91,750 in legal fees and eliminate the incident from students' records. The students must attend a three-hour seminar on civics education.
The conditions of the agreement were reached after mediation among the parties.
The protests were part of a series of marches nationwide against immigration laws last spring.

Why repeat exactly what the story reported????
The story itself is a pile of manure! If the students were under 16, then BY LAW, they must be in school. Further skipping school is an unexcused absence. So what we have is a bunch of misguided students violating the law to support other violators of our laws.
The settlement was a gouge in the pocketbooks of the residents of the school district
