Bus Vandalism Suspects Head for Alternative School

KILGORE — The five Kilgore ISD students charged with vandalizing 39 school buses earlier this month have been transferred to an alternate facility to complete their school year. School officials say the students, who are all seniors, will still be able to graduate this year. Kilgore ISD Superintendent Jodi Clementes says the students will also pay for the more than $3,000 in damage to the buses on April 8th, forcing the school to close for the day. The case has been transferred to the Gregg County District Attorney’s office for all criminal charges.
