They were locked out of the building, unable to attend school.In response to habitual tardiness, the administration at Grant High locked the doors promptly at 7:40 a.m.This wasn’t Principal Rodney Stearns’ first attempt to address the problem of students’ running late.Last week he rounded up all tardy students and took them to the gym for a lecture on the importance of being on time. That was Feb. 9, and 400 of the school's 1,500 students were tardy.
