13 school buses in Maypearl had tires slashed
Maypearl — All 13 operational school buses in Maypearl were found with at least one tire slashed at a replacement cost of up to $4,000.
Maypearl Independent School District superintendent Lynn Dehart wants to know who is responsible for the damage and why.
The tires were replaced in time for students to be transported as usual Monday afternoon in Maypearl, a town of about 950.
The vandalism was discovered Monday morning, forcing families to find alternate transportation for their children.
The Cowboy Bank of Texas in Maypearl is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the tire slasher.
Maypearl is located 40 miles southwest of Dallas.
