Students suspected in school vandalism

KESHENA - Menominee Indian school leaders say at least four Keshena Primary School students are suspected of vandalizing the school Saturday night.

School was canceled Monday when staff members arrived Monday morning to find nine classrooms trashed, with furniture and computers overturned and paint thrown throughout the hallways.

Security cameras are being used to help police identify the vandals. The school is continuing its investigation in cooperation with Menominee Tribal police. A dollar estimate of the damage is not yet available.

Superintendent Wendell Waukau said the district is working closely with police to determine exactly how many students were involved and why the vandalism occurred. It is not yet known if the vandals will be formally charged in the case.

Students returned to school Tuesday. Keshena Primary School houses kindergarten through fifth grade.
