Hello,

Is the vandalism already happening or is this at the concern level?   
One idea is to have a section of a wall where they can draw in chalk  
or white board markers cause anything you don't want on the art wall  
can easily be erased.  Or have a cart of weeded books that they can  
take and do whatever they'd like with cause then they'll leave the  
books you don't want vandalized alone. And can always ask people  
who've vandalized why they did it, may not get an answer but, could  
ask what can be done instead so kids can still express themselves in a  
way that won't harm school property or get them in trouble.  May not  
be the perfect solution but hopefully will mitigate the negative  
effects,

-Sincerely,
