“The District, in collaboration with law enforcement, is investigating this incident and will take appropriate action,” Neal wrote in an email. “Replacement helmets will need to be ordered to ensure the student-athletes have the appropriate equipment for the fall season. Additionally, the District is in the process of re-keying affected areas of the campus.”
