PHOENIX — A Phoenix high school was broken into and vandalized early Thursday, just four days before students were expected to return to class for the year.
Amy Bolton, a spokeswoman for the Scottsdale Unified School District, said in an email that there was a break-in in the school's front office.
She said the break-in could be classified as vandalism because the stuff that was in the front office was "strewn about and property was damaged."
Principal Todd Stevens said in a letter to parents that the damage took placed in various places on campus and included broken windows, picture frames, technology and "what could be described as generally making a mess."
"I assure you that we are utilizing our resources to investigate the situation and identify those responsible," Stevens continued. "If they are Arcadia students, they will be subject to consequences outside of any police action that may be taken."
Bolton added that the area was "still being processed."
"We are fully cooperating with the Phoenix Police department’s investigation," Bolton said.
Bolton said she did not have any reports of any classrooms being damaged.
The school is expected to open on Monday for all classes and grades.
