Blackman Principal Leisa Justus has sent the following message to Blackman parents to keep them informed.

"Yesterday, a student alerted school officials about vandalism with hate enhancement in a girls bathroom stall, which was a swastika made out of toilet paper and fingernail polish. School administration and SROs immediately began investigation, and the perpetrators have been identified. The two female students are being disciplined to the fullest extent of school board and law enforcement policy. The students have been expelled and the school is pursuing criminal charges."

It is not known what criminal charges could be filed at this point.

Names will not be released because the incident involved two juveniles.
