Brookside Elementary faces report of fifth swastika incident in six years

What happened

Correspondence listed in RVSD’s Oct. 21 board packet reports antisemitic graffiti at Brookside Elementary and describes it as the fifth swastika incident in six years. The packet identifies emails about the incident and a response, but does not provide details about the graffiti or the district’s actions.

Why it matters to families

Repeated antisemitic graffiti raises concerns about students’ sense of safety and the school’s response to hate-based conduct.

The evidence

The Oct. 21, 2026 board packet lists correspondence attachments titled “Fifth swastika in six years: the district needs to tell the community what happened, now” and “Response to Antisemitic Graffiti at Brookside Elementary.” The packet lists the emails but does not reproduce their contents.
