"Senior prank" at Malibu High School causes tens of thousands of dollars in damage, district says
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District says it's working with law enforcement officials after a large group allegedly vandalized a high school in what appears to be a "senior prank."
In a news release, Superintendent Dr. Antonio Shelton said vandals caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage at Malibu High School overnight Tuesday. The vandalism was done by a group of 40 or more current seniors and former students between the hours of 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., the release alleges.

Super-gluing locks to 20 classroom doors, rendering them inaccessible
Pushing a golf cart down stairs, overturning it
Pulling down clocks and damaging them
Spray painting messages on walls, including inappropriate images
Breaking tables and seating
"This behavior is completely unacceptable and negatively impacts the entire Malibu community," the release reads in part. "We expect our students to act as responsible members of our community, including in the week leading up to graduation."
