An elementary school in Langley, B.C., will remain closed Tuesday as crews work to clean up after an alleged incident of vandalism inside the building. Noel Booth Elementary abruptly closed Monday morning, resulting in parents being asked to collect their children shortly after dropping them off. In an afternoon update, Langley Schools provided additional information about the incident. “It is believed that an unauthorized individual(s) entered the school and deployed fire extinguishers in multiple areas of the building. The incident has resulted in an unsafe learning environment,” a letter from the district said. “A restoration crew spent the day working with district maintenance staff to return spaces to their original state but more time is needed.” The district acknowledged the closure would be difficult for students and their families but said health and safety are its first priorities. Another update is expected to go out to the community on Tuesday. Earlier Monday, a spokesperson for the school district said the RCMP has been called in to investigate. CTV News has reached out to Langley RCMP for more information. This story will be updated if a response is received.
