Superintendent Michael Sander said the construction students were providing the labor for a shelter at the school. Sander said the school’s PTA had saved about $10,000 over three years to pay for the materials for the project.

“It was something they wanted to do,” Sander said.

No other information was available about the break-in from police or career center officials.
