OKLAHOMA CITY -- A metro elementary school was targeted by vandals over the weekend. Officials say the vandals caused thousands of dollars in damage and it's not the first time this school has been hit recently.
Principal Phillip Cunningham said, "Everything was on the floor, fire extinguishers discharged, a lot of equipment broken and damaged."
That's what Columbus Elementary School officials say they found Sunday.
Three interactive media white boards were destroyed; they run $2,500 each.
That's not all, several laptops and other equipment were also hit.
Cunningham said, "I was angry, frustrated, disappointed."
Books and other supplies were scattered across the floor, along with sand, water and possibly urine.
Students were split into other classrooms for the day while their teachers cleaned up.
Cunningham said, "It just throws up another road block in what they're trying to accomplish."
Two fifth grade classrooms and one second grade room were hit.
Officials believe the vandals made their way in sometime Saturday night, busting out windows and they didn't leave quietly.
Cunningham said, "The vandals pulled the fire alarm when they left."
At least one of the rooms was hit last week, though school officials say it was nothing like what they found this time.
Cunningham said, "The teachers here are good educators. They show up everyday to teach and to have to come to a mess like this!"
School officials hope the students will be able to return to their classrooms by Tuesday.
