Circa 2005, we got hired by the district for finding problems.
Of course, we either found them during tech class (pre-req for A+ class) or after we'd asked the school tech for permission to explore (and been told it was okay as long as we documented what we learned/didn't do obviously malicious things).
I think the worst I saw was a kid get suspended for a week then kicked off the network for the rest of the year. He got caught with a ton of warez, pirated stuff, etc on his share when we got investigated by the district for accidentally taking down the network because someone left Guild Wars auto-patching on.

Good times.
