The article cites a local news station in the first sentence.

The local story refers to her first as "Melodie" and then as "Memorie" a number of times. 

I tend to not consider a lot of school stories as accurate. You only get one side. Schools can't always give much detail. 

Edit: Her name is Memorie...

Edit:

She has an IEP. School definitely won't be saying much to the media.
