“All students who are in schools where destruction of school property occurred are to be surcharged for the full cost of the damages. Results if these students will be withheld till thy have fully paid for the full cost if the items destroyed.” The statement reads
The statement further said, “Further, all acts of vandalism and other criminal acts must be reported to the security agencies for further investigation.”
