“Unfortunately, due to the extensive damage caused by the students, we have received reports of our staff being injured during the cleanup process,” school officials said in a statement, according to WLWT. The school officials are currently considering suitable disciplinary action.
“This was not a prank,” a district spokesperson said, according to WCPO. “It was trespassing and criminal damaging.”
A number of students who allegedly participated in the prank have already been suspended, while others will not be able to walk the stage at graduation, according to WCPO.
