Beaver Valley Elementary hit with vandalism

PLAIN – Cascade School District is seeking answers to a vandalism incident that occurred at Beaver Valley Elementary on the evening of March 20.

According to CSD, vandals damaged the double paned windows at the entrance of the school, but did not fully break through the safety glass or enter the school. Once aware of the incident, Principal Kenny Renner-Singer, School Board Chair Trey Ising, and a maintenance worker went to the school to assess the damage. Renner-Singer notified the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office. School remained in session using alternate entrances, with temporary repairs put in place. 

The estimated cost of repairs is not yet known. The district aims to complete permanent repair by the end of Spring Break, and is also planning to add security features to the school, according to CSD Superintendent Tracey Edou.

“If anyone from the Plain community has additional information to share about the vandalism, we are interested in learning more. It goes without saying that taking an action that has the potential to create fear in children is a despicable act,” said Edou in a statement to Ward Media.
