Narrative:

I was on final approach to runway 34R. A C152, aircraft Y, then taxied onto the front of the numbers to runway 34R. He then called tower and announced he was 'holding short' of runway 34R. Tower then instructed him to 'continue holding short.' I then told tower someone was on the runway. Tower told me to go around. I had the student execute a go around. I then witnessed aircraft Y rapidly exit the runway.
