Burglars, vandals hit LAUSD 171 times since August, 'reprehensible' acts against poor schools
Briefly

"We don't want negative news, right? We don't necessarily talk about it, but to target, burglarize, vandalize, steal from poor schools - that is reprehensible." - Alberto Carvalho, L.A. schools Superintendent, addressing the ongoing vandalism situation.
"The damage estimate could rise at Wadsworth once an inventory is completed, which might have to wait for several days because schools have begun their weeklong Thanksgiving break." - A statement highlighting the ongoing challenges the district faces with frequent vandalism.
"Although the campus gets locked up tight, it lacks a burglar alarm, and security cameras have arrived but have not yet been installed." – Principal Jenny Guzman-Murdock discussing security deficiencies at the school.
"The vandals apparently used heavy tools to pry open dead-bolted, metal-reinforced doors - doing major damage to the doors. In all, 24 rooms were broken into." – A detailed account of the break-in incident.
