Spanish Fork
Nebo School District is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of vandals who destroyed sprinkler lines and the recently seeded ground at the new Spanish Oaks Elementary School.
The school will be ready for students in August, but vandalism continues to plague the site. For the third time this year, four-wheel drive and ATV-type vehicles have driven over the newly planted playgrounds. Residents with information about the vandalism should contact the Operations Department at Nebo School District, 798-5333. Neighbors are encouraged to contact Nebo School District officials or Spanish Fork police if they see any suspicious activity.
This reward is offered for reports and arrests of vandals at all 31 schools in the district.
