How Did Marlin ISD And The Community Respond To The Damages?

As revealed by KXXV, many in the area were disappointed in finding out what occurred on the school grounds. Another post by the district stated the following:

"Please be advised that all Marlin ISD properties, including Legion Field, are considered private school district property. Unauthorized presence on any district property is strictly prohibited and constitutes trespassing. In Texas, criminal trespassing is defined as knowingly entering private property without the owner's consent. No Trespassing signs have been placed at Legion Field in accordance with Texas Law."

At the time of writing, KXXV has revealed police are not conducting inquires into the situation. The school district itself is seeking new security choices to prevent further issues.
