UPDATED: Vandalism prompts two-day closure of Langley elementary school

A Langley elementary school will remain closed for a second day following an act of vandalism over the weekend.

Langley police are investigating the incident at Noel Booth Elementary, in which fire extinguishers were deployed in several areas of the school.

The Langley school district had initially announced a delayed start on Monday morning for students for “necessary cleanup,” but closed the school for the day soon after.

“Families are asked to please pick up students,” the updated post read.

It was announced later on Monday that the school, located in the Brookswood community of Langley Township, will remain closed on Tuesday “due to health and safety” reasons.

“The District acknowledges this school closure will be difficult on students and families. Health and safety continue to be a priority,” said school principal Melissa Wilsdon in a message to parents on Monday afternoon.

Postmedia News has reached out to the Langley RCMP for more details.
