It seems that the teacher did have permission of the school district, as the teachers quote in the article indicates “My administration knew; I also got a district grant for it,”. Unfortunately it didn't get passed on to the rest of the teaching staff.

The main problem was the following guideline was ignored by the teacher and his class.
From GC.COM
"Caches near, on or under public structures deemed potential or possible targets for terrorist attacks. These may include but are not limited to highway bridges, dams, government buildings, elementary and secondary schools, and airports."

That's my two cents worth....

A few things come to mind here:

1. Obviously whom ever placed the cache didn't get permission from the school, or if the teacher did get permission the entire staff should have been told about the cache being there.
2. I though you were not suppose to bury caches
3. Why didn't the people from Nevada explain to the person asking what they were doing, considering it was at a school.
4. Sadly some of the students comments shows what the future holds.

Just my $0.02 worth :
