MIDDLETOWN — Swastikas were found in a bathroom at Middletown High School, the second such incident at a city school in in recent days, according to officials.

Superintendent of Schools Alberto Vazquez Matos informed members of the school community Thursday that swastikas were found in a bathroom at the high school, a week after it was reported that swastikas were found in a bathroom at Beman Middle School on multiple occasions.

"There is no place for such behavior in our schools, not now, nor will there ever be," Vazquez Matos wrote in a letter to the community.

"Let me be clear: Middletown Public Schools will not tolerate hateful, derogatory, disparaging, or offensive language, symbols, or acts," he wrote.

Vazquez Matos said an investigation is underway with the Police Department, and all necessary steps would be taken to identify the person responsible for the vandalism and hold them accountable.

In addition, administrators will be implementing educational programs to address antisemitism and promote tolerance within the schools, he said.
