Arthur, I don't think you responded to some of the questions I asked in 
an earlier email which were designed to help me give some advice:

1.  Can you be more explicit about what you mean by admin status?  Do 
you mean a WebPA Administrator or just a teacher?

2.  Which version of WebPA are you using?

Click on the pencil for the student in question and you should be able to see User type information in the second row. You can un-check the administrator box.
