Surprisingly, it looks like some common sense has prevailed.

Marie Morrow is heading back to class after the superintendent of the Cherry Creek School District decided that she has paid enough for bringing fake rifles to school.
"I'm just glad to be back in school and have this whole thing over with," said Morrow, a senior at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora. "I expected to get the minimum sentence, which is what they did."
Morrow was suspended Feb. 5 after other students saw the props in her vehicle and notified school officials.
Morrow is commander of the drill team of the Douglas County Young Marines, which teaches leadership and life skills.
The group practices at Lutheran High School in Parker and has been preparing for a national drill-team competition in April at the Air Force Academy. Morrow said she didn't realize she had taken the fake rifles to school with her.
Morrow will be going back to school Wednesday because Monday is Presidents Day and Tuesday is a scheduled day off for everyone. In the meantime, she plans to catch up on her homework.
