Administrators in the Bishop I.S.D. say classes will resume as usual Friday at the Primary.  But, they spent most of  Thursday cleaning up after this destructive vandalism spree caused by three young boys.  The youngest  is only 9 years old and a third grader at the school.  It's estimated the 9, 10, and 13 year olds spent two hours in the school before a Pre-K teacher discovered the three in the teacher's lounge. They reportedly denied their involvement, but the school's surveillance cameras tell a different story.

"I just don't know what they were thinking," said Principal Debbie Gonzalez.  "I pray for them and their families and hope this is a very big lesson learned."  

It's a lesson with what appears to be some major consequences. Bishop police tell us the 9 year old was released to his parents, but the 10 and 13 year old were taken to the juvenile detention center where they face felony charges of criminal mischief and burglary of a building.
