Sequim Police Department detectives plan to forward charges related to student vandalism on June 1 at Sequim High School to the Clallam County Prosecutor’s Office in the coming weeks.

As many as 50 students were involved in acts of vandalism, Sequim School District officials reported.

They gained unauthorized access to the school to smash eggs inside and outside classrooms and commit other acts that included moving teachers’ items.

One person wrote an offensive message on a whiteboard.

Det. Sgt. Darrell Nelson said School Resource Officer Daniel Martinez is leading the investigation and they’ve identified 42 suspects.

“There’s a little bit more work to be done,” Nelson said.

He confirmed the suspects are all students and no staff were involved.

Nelson said he wouldn’t comment on aspects of the case as it remains an open investigation, but they anticipate finishing it in about two weeks before sending the entire case to the prosecutor for consideration.

He said the Prosecutor’s Office will determine who will be charged and what the charges will be.

Megan Lyke, the district’s public information officer, previously said campus cameras showed students go onto the school property around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 1, but she did not know at that time how long they were there and where they went.

District officials said previously it was unknown whether the incident was a “senior prank” prior to graduation later that week, or if the students were of different grade levels.

While no permanent damage was done, Lyke said the mess was time-consuming to clean and left an odor in carpets in various parts of a building.

Custodial staff, teachers, administrators and students worked together to clean the classrooms prior to classes starting at 9:15 a.m. for Late Start Monday on June 2.
