[Vision2020] Thieves Hit The Area Hard

[Jerry Weitz]

The Alternative High School had taken its share of vandalism (all just 
before school started in August.)  Flags were taken, a commercial concrete 
sided garbage can was stolen.  Hoses have been stolen and newly planted 
landscaping has been ripped off. One concrete sided garbage container was 
burnt to the ground.  I wonder if someone/group is targeting our public 
schools. I hope this is not the case.  Jerry
